Evil Graffiti

One of my favorite pieces of street art in Denver's River North section is this full wall dedicated to the late, great stuntman from my childhood, Evil Knievel. It's painted, appropriately, on the side of a motorcycle shop.

We the People

Just off the main street of Denver's up and coming RINO section is an alley decorated for blocks with amazing street art. This section jumped out at me for it's poster-like realism and social commentary.

Not Woody Harrelson

I encourage my children to be travelers, not tourists. But sometimes the tourist things can be a welcome thing. We spent some time watching this street entertainer on Pearl Street in Boulder. He possessed a wonderful mix of humor, acrobatic talent and stagecraft.

Light It Up

What better way to get the Pearl Street crowd going into your final act than juggling fire while balanced precariously 10 feet above a street of bricks?

Master Blaster G

This is Gabriel Angelo, aka MasterBlaster G. He's a busker on Pearl Street who has performed on "The Ellen Show." He's also well known for his street performances in San Francisco. The kid can dance, sing and play...but, more than that, knows how to entertain. Check him out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpiUcNqBZuk

Up with Fire

There's never a break in the entertainment on Pearl Street.

Clear Creek

A bad accident shut down I-70, so we followed Clear Creek through the mountains to Golden. Caught this shot with my iPhone out the passenger side window along the way.
