I Guess He'd Rather be in Colorado


Wow, this is some tall control tower!  I don't know if I have ever seen a taller one.  The reason is that it is at Denver International Airport, and the airport is HUGE.  This is the largest airport in area in the United Stated, encompassing 53 square miles!  The runways are a long way away from where the terminals are located. so the controllers need to be up high to see way off into the distance. The tower is 327 feet tall.  When built it was the tallest tower in the United States, but now this is superceeded by three other towers.  We're in Denver for a conference, and I will be galavanting around town photographing.  Stay tuned.
