Overexposed and poorly composed:

I really enjoyed this thread. If done right, grafitti can be done in an artful manner. Thanks.

, yep and this thread is diving quicker than the cliff divers at Casa Bonita, but it really is pretty bad. I tried to salvage the pictures and I just made them even worse.

nonsense. i'd rather see this thread than more boring "well composed," stale, generic, hi-def ooh-la-la my city is so mega wow pretentious shots.

great collection of street art and funk here.

i love this shot even if it is low qual. it shows off the topography well.

Denver is a lovely creature.

And it's stealing our buildings!

Nice work! I think you're selling yourself short with your opening disclaimer!

Where was this taken? I really hope they never let that building on the right fall in to disrepair. I didn't know there where any other examples of this type of architecture left in Denver besides that building on larimar square.

Cool thread.

I've never been to Denver but it looks a lot like a more western version of Minneapolis. Similar urban pacing and vibe.

That's on Santa Fe just a little southwest of Downtown. The area is where a lot of the art studios are now probably because the were priced out of Lower Downtown.

Very nice, my good sir! It's nice to finally see your wonderful take and perspective on new, never-before-seen (for me, anyways) areas.

I bet that you have. He did a good job with angles to make some highly photographed areas look new.

cool pics. We don't seem to get too much Denver around here..

mSeattle · #16 Posted **Aug 26, 2010, 6:27 PM**

Denver's has really grown. Looks good.

Centropolis · #17 Posted **Aug 26, 2010, 9:27 PM**

I enjoyed this take on Denver (I almost typed Kansas City because of the similar colorful alley graffiti and art).

peanut gallery · #18 Posted **Aug 27, 2010, 12:15 AM**

Well I definitely enjoyed these, dktshb. You captured some fascinating scenes here.

And the food is SO good I haven't been there since 1989! That's saying a lot when you are only in your 20's.

Seriously, you go there because of the odd entertainment/ambiance and, after 2005, because it was on South Park. That's about it.

Quite a phenomenal city!
