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!

Fire and ice


The subject of this photo is a little hard to identify, so let me explain it to you: it's a fountain in the heart of Vail Village that has flames shooting up from right out of the water! I took this as the snow wafted down, and it was extremely chilly out there (I think it was about 10 degrees Fahrenheit). I was curious about this fountain so I looked it up. Supposedly the thing cost upwards of $1.8 million. Holy cow! Well it is a pretty damn cool fountain, I'll have to admit. How the heck did they do that?!?

Ah, rich people. $1.8 million for a water fountain that shoots flames? Sure! Never mind that just down the road in Denver, children are sleeping in homes without heat.

But if I can stop being judgmental for a minute ... dang, that's one cool fountain! haha

Amazing what $1.8M can create. Lovely picture with the snow coming down. Great colors.
