Thought we’d drop in on the Broncos!
I was shooting in the complete opposite direction, facing the sunset and the mountains. I had some nice rocks in the foreground that I really liked, but the color just wasn't there behind the mountains. Finally I bailed and walked to the other side of the peninsula to grab this shot of the insane cloud being lit up by the sun. As you can tell I was just a little late as the light had already started to fade from it, but something is better than nothing I suppose. #BVSquad
Stroll along the river, rent a bike or bcycle, or just check out the cool interior.

Auraria
I struggled tonight with the light. I really wish I could invest in a nice filter kit, including some grad filters were I could also attach a polarizer. Here's the only decent shot. I managed. The sky was just too bright. #BVSquad

Front desk and housekeeping staff are always excellent. Several budget dining options close by. Room is always immaculate. Surrounding area and be noisy, but this is not property’s fault. Microwave in room (some rooms?) would be very helpful.
