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!

Olympic Strength


Here's a close up photo of the big sculpture at the entrance to the Olympic Training Center, "Olympic Strength" by Jon Hair. It's a pretty big sculpture and you have to stand way back to take it in with a normal lens. I was more interested in getting some of the details close up. The sculpture depicts several heroically scaled athletes holding the earth on their backs. I like this guy -- I don't know who he is (or if he's just a product of the artist's imagination), but I think he looks like George Foreman!

Very impressive sculpture. And I love that you posted this in monochrome.
