Following Carol's suggestion to do a search for our city's name on Flikr, I ended up spending the better part of an hour gazing at photos of places that I love, but which I could never capture with the skill and artistry of these photographers. I was completely captivated. It was late on a school night, and I kept telling myself "just one more page"... then kept looking at more.
For my "favorite", I chose "Curving South into Fort Collins", at this link:

I love this shot because it captures a view of the South end of the city, taken right next to Spring Creek Dam. Since I ride my bike up here often it's a familiar road and a familiar view, but I rarely see it after dark. The curve that is lit up in this photo represents "the home stretch" of my rides, when I'm screaming down the hill to my neighborhood nearby. By that time in my workout all the hills are behind me, I'm enjoying speed without effort, refreshed by the exertion and fresh air, looking forward to going home.
