Then and Now Images

Hey Steve, made this same ride through the Hayman Burn site myself in 2009. It's a beautiful area and I need to ride through there again.
Sorry for the crappy image quality, didn't have HD camera at the time.

Would be cool to meet you and ride with you some day. I live in the Castle Rock area.

Pause at 1:10 to catch the Shepard peeking at me in the back of the truck!

I took these before I came across this thread, so I don't have the angle correct.

Denver, CO - Asbury Methodist Church built in 1880


A couple of weeks ago

Funny how that church was out in the middle of nowhere and now it's surrounded by a giant city.

not funny but sad.

Yeah, would've been cool to see this place 100 years ago. The whole point of this thread is how bizarre/crazy/cool/creepy it is that we are retracing the steps of those that were here before us.

Didn't figure out where that school is yet?

It's on one of the first 15 pages.

How cool it would have been riding a motorcycle through the first one!

Interesting too, you can see the progression as the forest slowly covers the big outcrop on the left. Those may be the standing dead trunks of the large pine trees on the left, in picture 2, and notice how the large stand of pines on the right of the gorge are logged, then grow back...

Here's a couple of cool photos I found from a recent trip we did that went through the Canon City, Colorado area:


Devil's Gap just west of Canon City when the railroad route went through the canyon

Skyline Drive back in the day

Funny thing is I didn't even know I had taken these almost matches until I got back and started looking through photos of the areas we had ridden!

Don't know if this counts or not but it is still a then and now...
My backyard then...


My backyard now...

Wow, sorry. I didn't mean to kill your thread with the pictures of my backyard!

How long between photos?
