Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had a chance to explore downtown Denver for the first time! In a nutshell, It is a crazy experience where everything is so closely knit and its easy-ish to get to, as long as you are walking…

The trip isn’t too bad by car. Like any big city, the roads are filled with traffic that has aggressive drivers but it’s not deal breaker. Denver has plenty of sites and exciting opportunities to offer, so a semi stressful drive into the heart of Colorado’s capital isn’t the worst thing to sit through. As soon as you reach LoDo, streams of cars flow into different roads going in all sorts of different different directions. For someone who doesn’t visit big cities often, it’s pretty disorienting! Adding to the wonderful confusion, I needed to find an affordable parking spot and with all the side of the streets filled, I had to settle for a parking spot that charged $6 for every 30 minutes. The whole situation was a bit to rich for my taste so I decided to make this photo shoot into a challenge.

How many good pictures could I get of downtown Denver within an hour? The challenge seemed easy enough. I thought it’d be a fun quick in and out but little did I know how fun it would be to explore the city! There is a transit center where all of Denver’s light rails (they are kind of like trams or subway trains but above ground) converge! There are people riding on rent-able scooters to get around town! Heck, there is even a place called the Dairy Block which is a whole block dedicated to milk!
