I love the view, these are great pics, and I'm glad you posted them in a photo thread.

Nice shots. Cool perspective.

There really is a lot of empty land to fill at the east end of downtown. With what is happening I can't wait to see what it looks like in 10 years.

Some one get on the roof of Rocky Mountain Plaza, a 2 year later set of pictures would be cool. I would get up there if I had a decent camera.

To think those shots are only two years ago, and today they would be completely different in every direction. Amazing!

I live in Rocky Mountain Court... but only for a few more weeks. I bought myself a condo in the Beltline.

I'll make sure to grab some last pics of the Bow site as well as some rooftop shots before I move out.

I'm gonna miss seeing the The Bow come together every morning as I have my morning coffee.
