Tree on Mount Lindo

Today I drove up to Mt. Lindo, which is a cremation garden and cemetery near Morrison overlooking Turkey Creek Canyon. The east side of the mountain has the famous lighted cross that can be seen from Denver. It was a gray day with occasional rain. This tree seemed to reflect the changing mood of the seasons.



















For a photograph of the famous cross see Mount Lindo Cross at the Cemeteries and Cemetery Symbols website.

Fairmount Cemetery, Denver, Colorado

Visiting Fairmount

I recently started working on a cemetery project (see link in the sidebar at right) so I visited Fairmount Cemetery yesterday in the almost rain.

The Other Side of South Park

These were taken yesterday overlooking a South Park valley. The cartoon South Park looks a little different—it's just over the hill.

Rocky Mountain Summer Rainstorm

I drove up to South Park on Monday and took these two pictures from the back porch of a friend's cabin just as a storm was approaching across the valley.

Motheater

Motheater live in world underneath Denver's normal music scene. They don't play in the known clubs or get written about in Westword. They don't know what a record label is for. Their shows almost seem like spontaneous happenings, spread by word of mouth and obscure Internet postings. I saw them last night at a tiny dark warehouse space on Brighton Boulevard, just beyond the railroad tracks and all those new overpriced lofts. Their music is a dark mass that moves with slow intensity. Look carefully beneath Denver's nightlife and you just might get to see them sometime.
