My car is not that great but I do like taking nice pictures. so where do you guys go for pictures. post some pictures and locations.

Aurora:
11th and dayton by lowry (CCA) its small and always empty so you can do whatever B)

Denver:
catholic church west of colorado blv. on Florida ave.
i lost my memory card but that is a very nice church and great for pictures but it doubles as a school or something so parking lot is full 7 days a week unless you go at night

I like taking photos with either amazing vistas or impressive geography up in the foothills, but I really like some of the more urban shots you posted above.

Not Colorado, but pretty close. This is at the pass off I-80 between Cheyenne and Laramie.
