Broadmoor
Rather than belaboring the details of how and why I ended up at the Broadmoor, suffice it to say that a few weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend a weekend at one of the most beautiful/pretentious hotels in the world. The Broadmoor is in Colorado Springs, tucked right at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain, so while I spent the weekend worrying about not tipping the wrong person, I did not have to worry about finding a good place to hide in the event of nuclear war.

Of course there are photo opportunities all over in Colorado Springs, but some of my favorite pictures from the weekend were taken just outside the carport of the Broadmoor, where they have a very nice fountain filled with lily pads and fish. The red lily pads are admittedly a little garish, like the sort of flower that might spew something potent enough to make Spock climb a tree, but I think they make a nice contrast with the blue ones.

Nice pictures, Luke! Seth’s website seems to be one of the few connections left of keeping up to date with others. I love the photography that Seth and you have captured in your travels. My new house is really lacking in the pictures on the walls so if either of you have the desire to have your art displayed, then feel free to frame it and I’ll be glad to find a place in my house. So far I haven’t had any mice to scare away but I have had a bat.

Good stuff Luke.
While nuclear war may not have been a concern, you should have probably been keeping an eye out for stuff like the Earth getting sucked into a black hole.
