Remember when the environ*mental*ists were freaking out about the clear-cutting ‘blight on the landscape’ that was happening in the middle of nowhere that no normal person would see ever?

Same folks think nothing of destroying scenic vistas that normal people see every day, and they have even less concern for the thousands of birds blenderized in the process.

Who knows what was the mindset of the geniuses who came up with this blue frame idea. It must have had something to do with the love of money.

You can’t throw a rock hear without hitting a microbrewery, beer garden would still be appropriate.

“Colorado drivers” — Wow, got that right. I-70 in Denver is the scariest interstate I’ve driven. What a deathtrap.

Denver and Colorado Springs are horrible but the drivers in Fort Collins are great, it’s like a completely different State.

If butts are illegal, only illegals will have butts. Or something.

Oh, when I lived out there the fires were a real thing. I mean everyday there was a risk of dying in a fire just out in the open.

The place is a tinder box. I used to stop, literally everyday and put out roadside fires from cigarettes.

If you live in evergreen (just next to North Park) your home simply wasn’t safe. It wasn’t a matter of if.

"And that photograph almost looks like a painting. That is really impressive :O"

Looks like overdone digital "HDR" (High Dynamic Range) processing, to me.

Like the gilding of holy places, some folks simply can't leave the beauty of nature to speak for itself -- but, insist on "improving" God's handiwork. :-(

It’s possible that it’s HDR, but no one does lighting better than God, you just gotta catch it at the right time.
