Fantastic photos! I like how your photo tours of the Denver area don't glamorize the city like a brochure, but show everyday things to let people who are considering moving here know what they are getting into. Thanks for posting.

How long does it take to Photoshop out all the plates?

is there a good reason to do such? Legally? Seems rather pointless. Either way good pics.

Courtesy would be my guess. I drove this exact route today. Expected to see my van ahead of you. Of course my car is soo dirty you wouldn't be able to read my plate anyway!!

Only a few seconds for each photo. It's only MS Paint. It's probably unnecessary, but I do that as a CYA measure just in case.

Thanks! That's exactly the point of my photo tours-- I want to show people what the REAL Denver looks like-- not just the postcard views.

Nice freeway pics, Vegas. It's nice that you blot out the lic plates.

The "Correctional Facility-no hitch hikers" warning looks weird when you see all those homes nearby. Those things should be out in a remote area, like smack dab in the middle of the Utah Salt Lake Flats area.

Simms Landing; an old favorite of mine.

Nice pics; now someone needs to go take pictures of 270 from I-70 to I-25. Seriously ugly.

Nice pics of the Denver area freeways. Although I have to say I believe it to be pointless to photoshop plates out of pics. Think about it. lol
