Night Time In Denver
I took my dogs for a long walk last evening, trying to make up my mind on what feature of Denver I should blog about. In the area of night life we Denverites are privileged with great restaurants, clubs, theaters, sports teams, etc. There is always something exciting to do, so what should my quick blog post focus on? I continued on my walk and, by accident, happened to gaze up at the night sky, and realized the answer was there in the stars.
We’re so busy and focused on getting things done that we often overlook the natural beauty of nature. We have so many interesting architectural designs and art within Denver that we sometimes forget those designs that have been around for thousands of years, all feats of natures accomplishments. Not too long ago I heard a tourist here from New York comment that we had such a big sky over Denver. It’s really not any bigger than the sky anywhere you are standing, but ours is certainly more open and the view is less obscured by giant buildings. If you’re visiting Denver, or have lived here and can’t recall spending some time looking up at our ‘big sky’ in the last week, month, or even longer, I strongly encourage you to do so. And if you have the chance, try to catch a westerly view of the sky at dawn or dusk, when the mountains, clouds, and sky are illuminated in such a combination that will bring anyone joy. Nothing is required to enjoy this free production of nature, but I recommend having your camera or video recording device ready!
Until next time!
