Colorado, Home to the Rocky Mountains!

I was having a wonderful and un-disturbed Sunday, when suddenly my cell phone rings and I notice its my CEO! Well no good, but than this turned out to be a wonderful news and I was off to Colorado on Thursday morning 2 AM!

12 hours into the journey and I get my first break to stretch my legs and walk around. Heathrow, London; one of the busiest airports in the world! After about 3 hours I get to board another plane for another 12 hours journey and on my way to Denver, Colorado.

The State of Colorado is a state located in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States of America. Colorado may also be considered to be a part of the Western and Southwestern regions of the United States.

The climate of Colorado is best described as being cool and dry compared to the rest of the United States. While that is generally true throughout most of the state, the climate of Colorado is very complex. The typical south-north/cooler-warmer variation in other states is generally not applicable at all in Colorado. The location of mountain ranges and surrounding valleys affect local climate greatly. As a general rule, with an increase in elevation come a decrease in temperature and an increase in precipitation. A main climatic division in Colorado occurs where the Rocky Mountains begin with the Front Range cities and the plains to the east, the mountains and valleys to the west, and the foothills as a transitional zone in between the two.

Well sounds a bit too complex, however this state has about 350 sunny days and is an absolute Paradise for Photographers! And what best time I could have selected, its Fall time and I have not seen any place as colorful as this.

Lakewood, CO a small town in CO, 15 miles away from Denver! A beautiful city, with few buildings, loads of fast food places, a lot of motels and beautifully surrounded with the Rocky Mountains! No better place I could have thought of staying at!

Well Saturday morning and I am off with my camera to a few near by places to capture Downtown Denver! The beauty of this place is that the air is so clear, wide spaces and everything is huge and I mean every damn thing you can think off!

A City Awakens to a new Day!

Taken from the Simms and Union over pass, it is an amazing view. On one side of the overpass is the city of Denver and on the other side are the beautiful Rocky Mountains. For the first time I feel the urge of missing a Sigma 10-20mm!

Downtown Denver

Well here is what I have as off now with a beautiful cityscape of Denver Downtown.
