Denver CO. Been there so many times I can navigate downtown blindfolded. I love Denver. Its the Asheville/Madison/Ann Arbor/San Fran of the Rockies. Full of life and street music and unfortunately...bums. There is a lot of public art in downtown, but one of the most identifiable pieces is the Convention Center bear. 
He's nearly 3 stories tall and looks into the side of the building.
Denver also has piles of interesting buildings. One of my favorites is visible from the Denver Performing Arts Center stage door.

The shimmery strip in the middle is actually hundreds of small pieces of metal attached at their tops to the building. They move in the breeze creating an alive facade on the otherwise boring building. They remind me of paillettes or fish scales.

i love the bear, how thoughtful of the artist; and my first thought of the side of the building in the other photo appears as water cascadeing down the side of the building. thanks for sharing!
1% of all construction budgets must be dedicated to the beautification of the city. The bear is 1% of the construction budget of the Denver Civic Center.
