Downtown Denver, Colorado, USA c. 1960. This view from Civic Central Park is the intersection of West Colfax Avenue and North Broadway. Left is the Pioneer Fountain, (or Pioneer Monument), a fountain and sculpture by Frederick William MacMonnies. The statue is of Kit Carson. Cars pass by the low-rise shops and businesses at this junction. A giant Chevrolet billboard rises above them. It tells that it is just after 3pm. The Central YMCA building is visible in the background. Today the YMCA is obscured by the One Civic Center Plaza, a 22-story high-rise building built where the shops once stood.

This image is from an old American amateur Kodak colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1950s/60s photograph.
