City Park Denver at Sunrise by Zara Otaifah
Heading over to the City Park in Denver is one of my favorite weekend routines. I grabbed my camera at 4:00 am in the morning to catch up on the sunrise. Colorado is known for its colorful sky at both sunrise and sunset. The golden rising sun rays were reflecting on the boathouse windows in a beautiful way. I then took a jog knowning that I had great weekend memories stored on my mind and great sunrise pictures saved on my camera.
