Yesterday I was out about 11 taking a walk, and this time I had my camera. I'm not any good at taking photos, more like snap shots, but I really love this time of year, because of all of the color.

This is Boise's first LEED Platinum building. When built, it was one of only 16 in the US.
http://lh3.ggpht.com/jardlives/SQePg5_ECcI/AAAAAAAAAls/QWZ2LjxcgVw/s800/City%20111.jpg

190,000 sf Art Deco style office building in downtown Boise. It is the 16th building in the United States to achieve a Platinum rating and the first in Idaho! It features digital lighting control, offices with individual thermostats, a process for recapturing rain water for use in the building's lavatories, an underfloor air distribution system and an electrical system that allows people to keep working during a power failure. These and numerous other sustainable features are expected to reduce the building's operating expenses by approximately 40%.

EDIT: Okay, I would close my own thread if I could. Somehow I missed Sawthooth's Boise thread before I put this one up. No comparison, check his out

Nice photos. Boise seems like a "teenager city". It is somewhere between small town and big city.

I didn't know my boy Titus [Young] was getting into trouble over there! (He went to h.s with me about 2 years ago)

Anyways, nice place.

Good close up on University Place. That one really never gets shown in the photo treads, and the WGI Plaza area too.

Kingofthehill, we have enjoyed Titus's play. He has to be one of the fastest wide recievers in the the history of the program. I hope he can get is stuff together and get back on the team. :shrug:

Boise was a nice suprise when I first went there. There are a lot of Cali Hot Hipster chicks when I was out there. Great job and cool photos.

Be careful, Nevada just beat Fresno and gave Texas Tech a pretty good run....:)

What does the Broncos stadium hold?
