We recently visited Denver, CO and saw parts of the city.  We had only flown through Denver, but we wanted to take some time to see the city even.  As Realtors, Home Stagers and professionals it is good to make time to visit a city for at least one extra day even though you may go for business.  I am always intrigued on the various architecture and the downtown of cities we visit.

From my viewpoint, Denver looked pretty progressive and mixed the old and new architecture in a very unique way.  I had never seen such variety in the city building architecture like Denver, CO!  We saw a big Blue Bear sculpture that kept trying to get into the Denver Convention Center, but nobody let him in!

We also saw the Denver Art Museum and had never seen such an angled varied building that overhung on the streets of downtown.  It was a very unique angled building inside and outside.  How did they do that?  It was a treat to see "The Impressionist" series that was being displayed.  Some of my favoirte artists like Monet and Renoir were featured.  Talk about knowing and using color to depict moods and feeling through their various art pieces.  It is true what they say, nothing like seeing it in person!  Wow!  I enjoyed studying the Impressionist era in college but it was very interesting and delightful to the senses up close and personal!

If you ever get a chance to visit a unique city, you need to go to Denver, CO!  It made me want to take go back and have more time to really explore the city.  It looked so interesting and intriguing!  From my view it is in the center of the United States and will be an interesting and stimulating city to view.

Irene, such great photos you took on your trip to Denver. I had not seen that Big Blue Bear sculpture. That is really something. I agree about the mix of the old and the new. Some interesting variety in the architecture. Thanks so much for sharing and your as always excellent presentation.

Dear Irene,

I agree. I love Denver and unfortunately I don't get there as often as I would like. They have always been somewhat ahead of the curve when it comes to art and architecture. Thanks for the great photos!

Hi Betina,

Thank you for stopping by!  I had no idea Denver was so ahed of the curve like you said.  I am originally from Southern CA and I thought I had seen everything, but this was very unique and distinct.  Not your typincal downtown city.  It was fun!

Have a Colorful Day!

Hi Pam,

Can you believe that Big Blue Bear!  We had to take several pictures to get some great poses.  I agree with you a Big Blue and Orange Bear would be great downtown somewhere.  What fun! It was an interesting city to say the least!  I am so glad we took the time to see it!

Duane ~ Yes, the Big Blue Bear was fun to see!  It was definitely a fun city to see.  Next time we will make more time to see other things.  It is fun to travel and explore!

Have a Colorful Day!
