September 2, 2025: Denver

So many ways to see a bridge

It was a gorgeous mile-high Colorado afternoon, the Sunday on the holiday weekend. The Rockies had just beat the Cubs. I was killing time before heading southward to the Great Sand Dunes. My Airbnb was run by a guy who spent the night I was there bottling Costco cucumbers into a jar for the pickle business he was calling Porn Star Pickles, Co. He got me drunk and before I knew it I was opening my Venmo app. Twenty-five dollars for a Mason jar of pickled Porn Star Costco cukes. My bad.

I wish I could tell you that I swore off drinking at that moment. But what I can tell you is that although I didn’t explore much of the city, I found time to cross this bridge.

In case you’re wondering, that’s not me.

Thanks for your eyes once again!

The Millennium Bridge in Denver. According to the Lonely Planet Guide, it’s the “world’s first cable-stayed bridge using a post-tensioned structural construction,” roughly meaning that the bridge is supported entirely by cables. Taken with my Leica M6 / Tri-X 400.
