[1945?] James Peak from American City
James Peak from American City
Wow ~ Watching the snow get deeper outside, the windows frosted over with ice, this crystal clear view of James Peak on a hot summer day is like lying in a bubble bath and eating bon bons. And who can have just one bon bon? There are more than one could possibly enjoy at a single setting in our Digital Collections, which are full of beautiful scenery photos. Search “mountains,” “meadow,” or “clouds,” or just check out this tag: “tag:scenery”.
This photo of James Peak is one of the almost 500 images we have that were taken by Donald Kemp, a selection of which are in the gallery below. This blog outlines Donald Kemp’s biography.
“Wow Photo Wednesday” celebrates photographs in the Denver Public Library’s Digital Collections that have “The Wow Factor” and that highlight the myriad delightful nuggets in our database.
