Garden of the Gods 100th Year as a city park

November 23, 2010 By 2 Comments

Col­orado Springs was founded by Gen­eral William Jack­son Palmer in 1871. Charles Elliot Perkins pur­chased the Gar­den of the Gods in 1879.  He opened the Gar­den of the Gods to the pub­lic so all could enjoy.  At his death in 1907 he deeded the land to the City of  Col­orado Springs with the stip­u­la­tion that it be a city park and be free to the pub­lic.  The park offi­cially opened in 1909.  This gallery cel­e­brates the Gar­den of the Gods 100th year as a city park on Octo­ber 17, 2009. four of the black & white pho­tos in this gallery were from a book my grand­fa­ther, Arthur C. Nie­der­miller had.  The book is (Our Own Coun­try A Com­plete Pic­turesque Amer­ica) by James Cox pub­lished about 1894. I hope you enjoy these pho­tos of the Garden.

Cozumel Above and Below the Water

March 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

I just fin­ished my first video slide show pro­duc­tion and put it to music by Jimmy G’s song “Con­frontación Española” a span­ish fla­vor clas­si­cal gui­tar and piano, which I think goes great with the loca­tion of Cozumel Mex­ico. I now present “Cozumel Mex­ico Above and Below the Water” in HD.   So sit back enjoy and let me know what you think!

Bears in a Rockrimmon Tree

July 7, 2009 By 1 Comment

Bears in a Rock­rim­mon Tree in Col­orado Springs

On the morn­ing of 6/30/2009  a friend of mine, Bar­bara called me with a sit­ing of 3 bear cubs and mother bear in a tree in their back­yard.  So I loaded up my photo gear and headed down in hopes of  pho­tograph­ing these bears. The bears were asleep on dif­fer­ent parts of the tree between 30′ to 50′ up. After the cubs awoke they were play­ing and climb­ing   all over the tree while mom was still asleep. After the cubs woke-up their mom they all climbed down to the base of the tree and the 3 bear cubs enjoyed a deli­cious breakfast.
