Denver - March 2024

I have been suffering with a very bad cold, and feeling like death warmed up. Not ideal touristing. However, I went into central Denver today.

The city was one of the successes of the ‘City Beautiful’ movement in the early 20thC, so has lots of neoclassical facades, and open spaces.

I liked this snooty lion…

…this splendid salmon…

…the mile high marker…

…and splendid ironwork.

Elsewhere…

…hints of the old city…

…could be seen…

…peeking out by the new.

Here’s a lovely telephone exchange…

…and an old school.

This Women’s History Centre had a delightful…

…matching bug house.

My main feeling was that of a city at ease with itself…

…with a smile…

…and a sense of the ridiculous.
