For the 17th day of Thirty Days 2008 I headed to a park I have passed many times while traveling on Speer Blvd but never realized what it consisted of as I sped on past the park.  Alamo Placita Park is one of those parks which people have seen, but never have stopped more so as it is a small neighborhood park.  Even the City and County of Denver website has limited information about the park itself.  Walking around the park the image I wanted to walk away with was easily the tie in to Speer and the limited knowledge of the park.  As it was near sunset I first thought about the lights of cars passing by the park, but seeing this set of stairs leading into the park this was a good place to start with the traffic taking the background.  At first I was going to leave this as a color image, but once the sun set the color of the stone was most distracting under the nearby lights so I converted it to a black and white image which I feel helps tell the story of the lesser known park.

Stop by tomorrow for Day 18 of Thirty Days 2008.
