To me, this is classic Colorado.

Trivia: In the background (on the left) is the Wells Fargo Center. It is nicknamed the "cash register" building by some and the "mailbox" by others, due to the curved roof line that resembles one of those items. Shortly after construction, it was discovered that it snows in Colorado. Snow and ice would start to accumulate on that roof line and then huge sheets of frozen snow and ice would sheer off the roof falling 52 stories to the ground below. The roof is now heated to prevent that from happening.

Very nice juxtaposition of nature and the built environment ! Not something you see in most places, very cool.

Great story about that building, thanks for sharing !


I'm mainly here for the snacks
