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!

Major Miners

At least they look like miners. What do you think? I just noticed this new mural on Pikes Peak Avenue, although I think it's been there since last year if I'm reading the artist's signature correctly. I do like this throwback to the 1930s aesthetic.

02/21/2023 edit: After I shared this in the City Daily Photo Facebook group last night (as I do every night), Pat from A Yankee in Belgrade remarked that they looked more like hikers than miners, and a light bulb went on for me immediately. She was right. It's the AdAmAn Club. Hikers, yes, but not just any old hikers! If you're not from here you probably haven't heard of the AdAmAn Club, but it's definitely worth your while to visit their site HERE and read all about their amazing history.

A bit of a mystery.

AdAmAn, this year is their centennial

That is very well done.

Have you been down the AdAmAn alley? Very cool especially at night with the LED fireworks, cool murals in the alley too. It's right around the corner from this mural, we just went on an art walk from our hotel (Mining Exchange) and I got this same pic, plus the Indigenous art mural, the alley art, the spring bouquet and that awesome clock on the corner with the Latin dum vivimus vivamus'.

Hi folks! I realized about 30 minutes after posting this that (duh) it depicts the Adaman Club, but I was too tired to go back and amend my post. Thanks everyone for your comments and I will make an edit right now.

P.S. @LieseCarberry I have been meaning to go and check out that alley! Thanks for the reminder!
