Sunset from the Colorado State Capitol Size:24"x36" In the past five years

In the past five years I have explored many places around Denver and the western United States as part of this project

Within five minute this wave crashed into the seawall send up a large wave with great force

Right when you enter the park from the west there is a nicely manicured lawn which caught my eye with the frost still on the grass

This allows the viewer to have a sense of place but puts the attention on the snow in the fresh spring growth

however usually by Memorial Day Weekend it is open again connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake

Sunset from the Colorado State Capitol Size:24"x36" In the past five yearsAs I was walking past the State Capitol I decided to stop and capture an image of the sunset. I have used this perspective in the past couple of years to capture the change of seasons as well as the morning light against the Rocky Mountains. With the sun setting to the southeast this time of year it allowed a little of a gradient of the darkening evening skies framed by the architecture of the building itself.
