Welcome to Colorado Springs Daily Photo!


Hi, I'm Tamera, a professional wedding, portrait and boudoir photographer in Colorado Springs. But this blog isn't about my professional work; no, it's a daily love note to my beautiful city, where I've lived for most of my life. I love it here and I hope you enjoy seeing Colorado Springs through my eyes and lens!

Window washing daredevil


This man was on a VERY tall ladder, cleaning the third floor windows (that's the second floor to you Europeans) of a building in Denver's LoDo district when we were there the other day. No helper, no one to hold the ladder steady, and no safety gear. As they say, there's a fine line between bravery and stupidity!

I wouldn't have a problem with the height, but that's not operating safely.

Brave guy. I like the stars at the top.

Randy those stars are there to reinforce those old brick buildings. You see them a lot in Denver. I guess when things start to shift, they put some kind of rebar or something all the way through the actual building, and those stars are on the ends of the rebars.

Aha, I found out what they're called: anchor plates. I'm unclear if they are retro-fitted or part of the original construction (I always thought they were retro-fitted). Here's a wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_plate

P.S. Apparently they don't go all the way through the building -- I was wrong on that!
