SEASON’S GREETINGS and BEST WISHES for the NEW YEAR!!
A trip through Blossoms of Light at Denver Botanic Gardens, lights, lights, lights and more lights, oh and COLORS too!
This post includes the W Line and the G Line.
The W Line goes west from Union Station to the Jefferson County Government Center in Golden.
It’s a little strange that there isn’t a more direct connection with the Golden Downtown area but I am sure politics and money and land acquisition played big parts in the final location of the RTD stations. (I have learned there is a smaller shuttle bus called FlexRide that leaves the JeffCo Government Center and makes a loop through Golden. In addition, the RTD 16 bus can be boarded in Denver and the light rail Oak Station to get to Downtown Golden.)
The G Line goes a little northwest from Union Station to Arvada and Wheat Ridge. The G stands for Gold and I believe one of the original gold strikes in the area.

Hello again. The videos are working thanks to the Blogger Community and Google.
The last post was mainly light rail lines to the east (A), south (R) and southeast (E,F,R,H) and this post includes a short light rail line to the north (L) and a longer one to the south (C,D).
Please remember that in the previous post there is a link to view a list of all the Art Installations with descriptions :)
The following movie/video and photos are the Art Installations #31 thru #40:
Update, Wednesday, December 2, the videos are working :)
Since videos are not working, I have added photos below, hope you enjoy! :)
It didn’t help as far as I can tell, videos aren’t playing on past posts either :(, I will try to find the problem, fingers crossed!
Update: You may have experienced problems opening the videos, so I have deleted them and reloaded, hope this helps!?!?
Denver’s RTD light rail system is pretty cool. At many of their Stations there are Art Installations, 73 to date, commissioned by the Art-n-Transit program. For a very detailed explanation of the program and details for each work of Art (I learned how to do this link without showing all of the words and symbols, etc. :)
As another distraction from the COVID-19 restrictions, I will be riding the light rail and stopping at the Stations with Art Work to take photos.
I expect this to be a series of 3 Blogs. (Fair Warning :)
A side benefit is seeing parts of the Denver area that are new to me. One particular interest of mine is to see what light rail routes are close to access points for the 71 miles long High Line Trail that meanders northeast to southeast across the Metro Area.
