Grand Canyon Aerial Photograph

Here is a picture of Grand Canyon National Park in the winter. This picture won a Judge's Favorite award in the Professional Aerial Photography Association (PAPA) 2010 Annual Conference.



Every flight over the Grand Canyon is beautiful. This one was especially nice since it had recently snowed. The picture was taken in March 2009 from an altitude of approximately 10,500'. This view is looking South approaching the North Rim of the Grand Canyon with Mount Hayden near Imperial Point at the bottom and Humphrey's Peak near Flagstaff, Arizona at the top. A large print really shows the detail well and captures the beautiful view.

Long's Peak Aerial Photograph

Here is one of our favorite panorama pictures of Long's Peak in the winter. This picture won Best in Show and Best Scenic photograph in the Professional Aerial Photography Association (PAPA) 2010 Annual Conference. It also won a Judges Favorite award.



It was impressive to be in the plane to see this picture. The picture was taken in March 2009 from an altitude of approximately 15,000'. It is looking at the Northwest ridge of Long's Peak where the Keyhole landmark and hiking route is located. Long's Peak is 14,255' high, is located in Rocky Mountain National Park, and is a prominent peak in the Denver skyline.

The typical summer hiking path will go from the snowy basin on the left corner called the Boulder Field and across the ridge in the center at a low point called the Keyhole, along the right side of the mountain in the Trough, across the ridge on the right near the top, and then to the top of the mountain through the Narrows and the Homestretch. A good description of the hiking route can be found at 14ers.com. The Cable route goes straight up from the Boulder Field, and the Diamond routes are on the opposite side of the mountain.

A large print really shows the detail well and captures the beautiful view. If you have interest in using this photograph or purchasing a print, please contact Debbie at debbie@coloradoaerial.com or 303-641-9528.

Windsor Tornado Damage

On Thursday, May 22, a large tornado touched down in Windsor, Colorado. This was a surprise to a lot of people since we do not get many tornados this close to the mountains. And if they do happen, they are usually not very strong.

On Saturday, we went up to look at the damage and we even more surprised to see how the tornado had wreaked havoc to the small town. It looks like it really hit the main residential area which is sad.

Below is only one small section of the residential destruction. I imagine every house with a blue tarp has its roof blown off. Many are totally destroyed.

Some large buildings were demolished as shown below:

In this picture you can see a number of buildings demolished, but one in the center that is untouched.

We have more pictures if you are interested: Windsor Tornado Damage Gallery

If you have need of the pictures, please let us know. We are sad to see all this destruction and are willing to help wherever we can.

Denver Downtown Construction

Denver Downtown Construction

Much is going on downtown with lots of construction! On almost every street there is construction. Here are a few pictures of areas under construction.

Often when taking picture of one site, you capture two sites at the same time. In this picture, there is a building with 5+ stories built and one behind that is just starting.

The Justice Center:

1 Lincoln Place nearing completion on the outside:
