Standing on the steps of the Colorado State Capitol Building in Denver and looking west, this is the view you see. The statue is of a Civil War soldier. The obelisk behind him, visible just beyond his right elbow, is in a section of Lincoln Park that honors veterans. The large edifice in the distance is the Denver City and County Building, and every year during the holiday season is it lit up in a truly spectacular manner! (I'll just google that for you and post a link HERE.)
The plaza in front of the capitol is separated from the street by a decorative fence that features our state flower (the columbine), our state bird (the lark bunting), and so on. In the late afternoon, the slanting sun shines through it and casts a delightful shadow.
