Inthewoods: I have never lived in Denver.....but, I have seen far better sunrise's and sunset's here in the rockies then I EVER SAW IN IOWA!! Do you live under those high power lines??
Just to the east of those powerlines!
The reason I didn't see a single sunrise or sunset in Denver is because I was in a hospital the entire time in downtown Denver, surrounded by buildings too tall to see what was behind them, or even coming over them most of the time. I've seen some absolutely gorgeous Rocky Mountain sunrises and sunsets!!
