After enjoying a Christmas feast at my brother Chuck's house then going home and opening our presents, Pat and I took a drive up to Old Stage Road to take in the breathtaking city view. It stretches on for almost as far as the eye can see! We don't have skyscrapers in Colorado Springs because there is a city ordinance that prohibits blocking the view of Pikes Peak. What we do have is lots and lots of land, so the city spreads out endlessly across the plains.
From Old Stage Road you can see the entire city at night and it's simply amazing. This is just a small portion of it. You can see the Broadmoor Hotel at the bottom right, reflected in its lake. You can see the major north/south arteries: Nevada, Academy and Powers. You can see the far eastern edge of town, but even with a fisheye lens it would be impossible to capture the northern and southern borders in the same photo because they are so far apart.
I love this view and never tire of it. I don't get up to Old Stage Road nearly enough.
