MANITOU SPRINGS LIGHTS: Steve Strolls In Manitou Springs on Friday Night
April 2005
The Loop It was Friday night and I had nothing to do, so I walked throughout Manitou Springs and snapped pictures of the lights ... The Loop Mexican Restuarant! ;)
Craftwood Inn I liked the Craftwood Inn sign!
Neon Lights Fat Tire Beer LEFT: A Bud sign at the Ancient Mariner.
RIGHT: A Fat Tire sign at the Royal Tavern. Folks, Colorado has some of the best microbrews. Once you have something like a Fat Tire, you'll never go back to crappy and mass produced beers that taste like liquid cardboard!
La Fon Motel The lights of the La Fon Motel.
Manitou Springs, CO The eastern entrance from Colorado Avenue.
Drummers
Andy Hippie Crit Box
Hippies banging drums! :)
Okay, maybe they are not quite full-fledged hippies, but this small and friendly group were banging their drums on the Manitou Avenue sidewalk. Special thanks to all of them for allowing me to photograph them and posing naturally! :) and they let me take a picture of them! :)

Andy is the one in the green sweather who performed at Manitou Carnivale 2005. (LEFT PHOTO)

And speaking of hippies and "counterculture" stuff, there was a vending box nearby for a periodical called the Hippie Crit!

ATM An ATM machine near Patsy's Candies. What can I say? I was bored! :p)

Here are some old pictures... -Steve :)
MANITOU LIGHTS: An Evening Walk with Steve and His Camera!
November 2002
Thanksgiving hasn't arrived yet, but already Christimas decorations are popping up in Manitou Springs.
The City has their decorations out as well. :)
What would an evening walk be without gazing through the window of the Manitou Center for Photography? :)
Oh, here's some other neon sign & late evening walk pictorials:
  • Fort Collins Signs
  • Christmas Lights in 2004
  • Walk with Matt near Denver
  • Ho ho ho ho!

    I gazed in at the Hemp Store. Funky shop!
    Last but not least, an evening rondevous (sp?) with a Christmas cactus at Donna's place. And yes, there I am kissing that cactus! :p)
