Boulder, CO (180 photos)

One of my best friends went to the University of Colorado in Boulder to study a collection of bones and asked me to fly out to visit her. Yeah, for me, because I've never been to Colorado! I am definitely sold!! Anyway, I was left alone during the day to take an inordinate amount of pictures, so, here you go:



























Seems like this was a great place...







































Who is that weirdo taking pictures?

























After walking by me and getting a pet...



...my new friend decided to come back for a pose.













































































































































Oof...why again were these designs popular?!



Still hideous...



...nope, still pretty bad.











She was having a good day







Ah, nature

Great shots of the historic side of Boulder as well as the C.U. campus! You caught our blue sky well in your photos.

I love the main C.U.campus with all the flagstone and red tile roofs. I saw "The Ritz" used clothing and costumes store....its one of the best of its kind, anywhere! Good job!

I'm actually a student studying architecture at CU and you just happened to photograph my dorm, lol. (the window on the bottom right)

I love the campus, I think it's a great combination of old and new architecture in the midst of a beautiful city.

Ah Boulder. Great urban design, but awful, awful land use planning. It's such a mixed bag. I had four fun years there (in the ENVD program - heya cadetwhite!), and need frequent visits for sentimental reasons.

This was my preferred location for first dates.

... But what's this (and again here)? Obviously a CU campus building, but I don't recognize it. Must be new. Did you notice what (and where, specifically) it is?

Great shots, BTW.

Great pics... Lot's of memories looking through your photos. Thanks



Can't tell you how many hours I spent in this building. It has a constant smell of BO.

That's the new building for the business school, south of the old business building (and south of the engineering center), across the street from the Coors Event Center. Not sure if it expanded the old building (I think it did) or replaced the old one entirely. It's pretty nice. That and the new law school building, both fantastic looking.
