Boulder from above

I've taken the following pictures on my flight to Steamboat Springs. These are about the only pictures that survived the film processing at Target (the other film roll has been destroyed).


Right after the takeoff we circle to gain height. We are north of Boulder and see the rockies in the back.


You can see North Boulder, where Broadway and US 30 join to go to Estes Park. The white mountains in the back form the continental divide.


View of South Boulder. The big road is the Broadway, which turns into highway 93 going south to Golden.


Table Mesa King Soopers grocery store.


View north east. CU's main campus and the engineering center.

East of Boulder: Louisville and Broomfield

In my first week I had a rental car and so I could drive around Boulder's neighboring towns.


Railroad crossing near Broomfield/Interlocken.


A broader view.


Sunset near Louisville.


After Sunset.

Where I work

Some people call it "submarine", others "cave". It's just a standard US office.


The Database Lab. Here I work. In a room without a view :-(

My home

I live here. Which means I come here to sleep. Throughout the day I'm usually somewhere on campus.


Our deck, as seen from the kitchen window.


Our trash in front of our house.

My way to work

Every day I walk to the bus stop on broadway (about 3 minutes) and then take the SKIP to campus (about 15 minutes, 10 minutes for the Greenbriar/Lehigh/Table Mesa loop it makes).


Here you can see my home and my office.


Looking north on Broadway, close to my home.


Looking west out of the Broadway underpass. You can see the NCAR.


My bus, the SKIP.

Greenbriar Loop

The SKIP route makes a big loop at its south end. This loop goes through a very nice neigbourhood along Greenbriar and Lehigh. One sunny day I got off the bus (about at the location of the yellow arrowhead in the first image on this page) and took some photos.


I took the photos on Greenbriar between the star and the bus icon.


1. View south west (at the star).


2. One of Boulder's nice benches.


3. Corner Telluride/Greenbriar.


4. The houses in this neighbourhood are two to three stories high and pretty nice (and, I guess, horribly expesive).


5. Corner Smuggler/Greenbriar.


6. A typical SKIP bus stop.


7. View south. There's nothing between this place and Golden (except the Rocky Flats nuclear warhead factory...)


8. The Shanahan Ridge park.


9. View west. On the right is the Shanahan Ridge park.


10. View south west


11. Sitting on the bench at the Montessori private school bus stop, I see a US Mail car driving by.
