Highlands Bridge Lighting was beautiful!

Yesterday you got a post about the Highland Bridge lighting. Well today you get the pictues from last night’s lighting ceremony. Someone I was speaking with me today talked about how the I-25 expressway once divided our city. Yesterday a bridge united it.

As the temperatures dropped yesterday, what felt like ten degrees per hour, the crowds were active in attending the most colorful part of the Highlands Pedestrian Bridge opening… the lighting ceremony. With large spinning light displays striking into the sky and dancing across the clouds everyone in the surrounding area knew that something was going on. And that something was a colorful display of the bridge, with the bridge sections illuminated with multiple colors that shifted throughout the night. It was pretty spectacular to see, and a fun photo event so I grabbed a few shots (okay a couple hundred, but who’s counting).

While I was there I witnessed Santa cruising by on the back of a sled (that photo really didn’t come out.. sorry) and an endless parade of bikers, walkers, strollers, and other denver urbanites out for the evening. it was just plain fun and the party on Platte street carried on into the night even with the dropping temperatures.
