I’m writing this blog post for my Twitter followers. This, and my other blogs, were set up to automatically post on Twitter. However due to the actions of the new owner of Twitter, I will no longer be posting there. I hope to keep my Twitter followers as blog followers as I restart this blog after my long illness. I’m also considering alternatives to Twitter such as Instagram, but haven’t finalized that. I’ll make an announcement here when I’ve decided what I’m going to do.
Over the next few Retrospective postings I’ll be sharing my last few roll of Kodak E100GX from 2011. I start here with a view of Longs Peak from Rocky Mountain National Park:
Have a Relaxing Labor Day
This was such a different subject than the other images on roll #2 that I wanted to post it separately. Calm. Peace, Stillness………Taking a few days off for long awaited eye surgery. Update at the end of the week…….
There are many ‘Forts” in Colorado. But none of them were military outposts. Instead, these were fortified trading posts for Indigenous Peoples and early Trappers.
Fort Lupton has been completely reconstructed on a site adjacent to the original location. It was established in 1836 by Lancaster Lupton, a former soldier and West Point Graduate. Click on the link above for the details of the Founding of the Fort. He had passed through the area with the Dodge-Leavenworth Expedition in 1834.
Trading Gate, interior, the Natives were kept in this smaller area and never allowed into the main Fort.

Check out the History of Ft Collins, Ft Morgan, Bent’s Fort and there are more Forts, some even were military…………
I never did figure out exactly how this Door was used. Found it in an alley during a night time Denver Workshop……
Any ideas how this door was used?
Above, a cropped Mamiya7 image with Portra 400. Giving you a hint of the doors…..
Still figuring out the right distance for my RSS 6X9. I’ll retake these standing a bit closer. But it’s all about learning for My Inner Monet……..Read more about the Center Here.
Above and below, some very distant Doors……….We take our last look at Snow?
These image was actually from January 2020.

I realized that I had no Door planned for today. OMG! And I had just been sorting doors yesterday. So I’m giving you one of my Indoor Doors. From the Denver Architecture Foundation’s Doors Open Denver, the Evans School:
You know that I like interior spaces. I know that I photographed the main entrance…. when I find it I will post it!
Our lovely Norwegian Elkhound/Malinois Mix wishes his daddy a Happy Birthday!
