Hiking in Colorado

At the end of September a group of friends and I went out to Denver, CO for the Great American Beer Festival.  In between 5 hour long “tasting” sessions we explored the surrounding area, visited local breweries, and went hiking.  These photos are from our hike in Boulder, which culminated at Bear Peak (elevation 8,461 feet), and a visit to Red Rock Park and Amphitheater.  With all the beer, hiking, friends, and scenery, the trip was a blast!

A day in Philadelphia

Below are a few shots from my trip through Philly a couple weeks back.  I was only there a few hours, but I managed to snag some night shots with the help of my tripod.  A great city with great views (and food), it warrants a trip back soon!

Photo of the Day: Harleys at the Philadelphia Museum of Art

Yesterday I passed through Philly on the way back from a wedding in NJ.  Besides having a fantastic meal at Jim’s Steaks, we passed by the Philadelphia Museum of Art to watch the sunset and snap a few shots.  After making a loop around the museum, we walked back up to the top of the famous “Rocky Steps” to get an evening view of the city.  Having been there a few minutes earlier, I wasn’t expecting to see a group of Harleys parked at the top.  I chatted a bit with the riders and they let me snap some photos of their hogs.  This is one of my favorite photos (I’ll post others later).
