Taken during light show between the second and third periods of an NHL game between the Colorado Avalanche and the Los Angeles Kings. The Aves scored the f irst goal before I was even in my seat, but went on to lose in a 7-1 drubbing. This indoor view is to the ENE. In addition, photo was actually taken with my cell phone, a Kyocera Rise, camera Kyocera C6725 and then processed with Olympus Master 2.30W software.

The Pepsi Center is the Avalanche home ice located at the southern edge of Lodo (Lower Downtown) in Denver, Colorado. Pepsi Center also provides the home court for the Denver Nuggets of the NBA. Beyond sporting events the Center is also a concert venue, hosting Celine Dion on October 1, 1999 upon completion and available for other large scale indoor events such as the 2008 Democratic National Convention. Seating capacity varies depending on the event; for hockey it is currently 17,809; for basketball, 19,520; for concerts, 20,000 plus; and, for special events such as the convention, 21,000. Groundbreaking for construction was November 20, 1997 with completion in just under two years at a cost of $187 million ($275 million adjusted to 2017). Architect was Populous, known then as HOK Sports and the general contractor was M.A. Mortenson Company. Originally a octagonal scoreboard was installed which was replaced before the 2013-2014 winter sports season with the current four-sided rectangular scoreboard. The two center faces measure 27 feet (8.2 m) high by 48 feet (15 m) long, while the two end faces measure 21 feet (6.4 m) high by 25 feet (7.6 m) wide. The arena is named for it's chief corporate sponsor - PepsiCo.

I would like to be able to say that I traveled to Africa, to Senegal judging from the name of this distinctive bird, but I must confess the he/she lives at the Denver Zoo. This particular area of the zoo is something of a free range in the sense that the stork shares the habitat with a couple of other species of birds and mammals, so it is somewhat realistic and fenced, but not caged. More information about this unique bird may be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saddle-billed_stork.

Denver City Railway Building - 1883

Blue rubber octopus has posted:

Originally built as the stables for the Denver City Railway Company in 1883, this building was the birthplace of Denver's public transportation system. Horse drawn trolleys, soon replaced by one of America's most extensive cable car networks created the first Denver suburbs by allowing people of moderate means to "escape the city" and move to the quiet residential neighborhoods of Capitol Hill, Highlands, and Curtis Park. The first line of the Denver Horse Railroad Company, as it was originally called ran up Larimer from 6th to 16th street, then out Champa stree to Curtis Park. The Welton street line, developed later, was purported to be the world's longest cable car line. In 1892, the building was purchaed from the City Railway Company and its facade changed by Baerreson Bros. Architects. In 1902, Hendrie and Bolthoff Manufacturing Company bought the stables for $100,000 in a sale contested by both Zang and Schlitz brewers. One of the pioneer manufacturors of mining machinery, the the company was founded in Central City, Colorado by Charles Hendrie. Hendrie and Bolthoff claimed to be the world's largest manufacturor of mining equipment while in this edifice. His son, Edward Beard Hendrie incorporated the Denver branch of the company in 1878, sold the Central City operation, and took on a partner in Henry Bolthoff, a loyal employee of his father since the age of 12 who could neither read nor write. In 1903, Edwin Hendrie bought Baron Walter Von Richtofen's castle in Montclair. Hendrie & Bolthoff manufacturing remained here until 1971, 22 years before its renovation into residential loft and retail space.
