I had a big, multi-location video shoot today with an early start, and no lunch break until after 2 pm so I played it safe and drove. I'm sorry I did, because it had snowed above 7000ft last night here in Colorado Springs and the foothills and front range were spectacular and sharp in the morning sun! Here is the Olympic and Paralympic Museum, which isn't on any regular bike commute route I take, but on my usual car commute route.



Pikes Peak is in the shadows and partially obscured up above the center of the museum. From this angle it is about even in height with the peak in the forefront directly to the left of Pikes Peak. The streets (and I assume trails) were wet, but snow free as was most of the city below 7000 ft.

For shoots that span the lunch hours I take oatmeal bars, nuts and a thermos of Yerba Mate for caffeine, although the medical offices we visited had a incredible Ethiopian light roast coffee that I couldn't resist...and I managed to avoid heartburn!

BTW, the red and white radio tower just to the right of the lamp post on the left is the one the one that sits 20 yards outside my office door. It's about a mile and a quarter from where I took this photo.
