Challenge.

The fall colors have left the mountains and most of the foothills, so it was time to take the search down the hill. Seeking out good color and locations, down in Denver, would be my goal.

Solution.

I have spent a lot of time in this area, when I was a photographer for the Rocky Mountain News, so my search was pretty easy. City parks and Open Space, are usually a good bet. Nice trees, maybe water and rocks, all help. The best thing to do is take your time and really look at the location, foreground and background and then compose you photo. There is still some nice color in the Front Range, if you want to shoot some nice pics.
