Storm-Swept Landscape
Denver, Colorado
2015

When I saw this dust on a stucco wall, it immediately reminded of a storm sweeping over a mountainous landscape, reminiscent of old Japanese paintings like these:

Late for a Very Important Meeting

This would have been a more surprising encounter for me if I didn’t know the Comic Con convention was going on in the building behind these two. (And a more curious POTD experience for you if I hadn’t mentioned that!)

Long Flight
Denver, Colorado
2015

I don’t know how far the crow’s flight was but this flight of stairs at the Denver Convention Center was really long.

ET Roadkill
Denver, Colorado
2015

I guess this poor little alien didn’t grasp the concept of crosswalks and walk signals, so got plastered on the pavement of busy Speer Street in downtown Denver.

It took me three or four tries to get the photo the way I wanted it. I had to wait for the walk signal, go out into the middle of the crosswalk, kneel down with my back to the stopped traffic, and take a couple of quick shots before it was time to scurry on across the street before the light changed. Even though I was pretty sure I was getting the timing right, it felt darn uncomfortable kneeling in the middle of a busy street with my back to the oncoming traffic that might or might not stop if I stayed too long where I was. And what if someone was turning right at the intersection so didn’t have to wait for the light to change? I felt too much like I might become roadkill myself, but anything for the shot!
