The View From City Park

I recently visited Denver's City Park, where I took the photograph above of the city's skyline. This is Denver's largest park. Construction began in 1886, and the park contains the Denver Zoo, City Park Golf Course, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, two lakes, and a boathouse. You can even rent swan boats and peddle around the lake seen in the background of the photo. When I first spotted those swan boats in City Park, I wrote a blog complaining that Washington Park, which is close to where my condo is located, did not have swan boats, just ugly plastic ones, and how unfair that was to the people of South Denver. And then, this year, for the first time, I spotted swan boats on Smith Lake in Washington Park, too. I have no doubt it was my blog that is responsible for that upgrade. What other reason can there possibly be? No thanks necessary, people. It was my civic duty.
