Walking Threw Manitou








How do you in taking a digital photograph participate in the construction of Manitou?
Well when you drive threw you really don’t see the construction of the town you just see what your eyes see. You really don’t pay attaching to the little things that count when you see. Like when you drive you just see the police station the people walking the small stores and the restaurants you really only pay attaching to the big things that your eye catch’s. There’s not much you can see when you driving, everything flaws in place when you walk and you take a tour around the town.
For example, you cant see what in the park if you drive threw it, did you know that there’s is a tree house that was build with some type of old tree that’s been there for years and years. It was a wood roof and a face in the top of the tree and a door it really beautiful when you actually see it and look around. It’s interesting that they made a tree house in the city park I guess so everyone can see what kind off past time differences we have from back then to todays nature. That’s not the only thing in that park they have some other interesting things.
Along the main road you see a train just the only piece that is use to run it its called Manitou& Pike’s Peak. Now this is interesting because Zebulon M. Pike discovered the world’s most famous mountain, which he was an army office. Which came in November 13th 1806 at the time that he discovered this peak, which now fittingly bears his name. He made a statement that man could never ascend it. This is a great piece of art so people can see where the name Pikes Peak came from.
There’s a lot of art pieces around the town, like the Wheeler Town Clock which I never seen before until now, and I been threw that numbers of times. Also the Metal Flower by Glen Flower, ad Manitou The Tester, A shooting start on the bridge, it looks like a shooting star it’s a bright red/orange color.
There are waterfalls that people can drink water for free and each waterfall tastes different. A wishing tower by Andy Scoot, A man in Z moon, And other pieces of art around the main street that you see by only if you walk and take your time threw the town. Which is a great experience because you don’t see this kind of pieces at a fancy art galley store this are one of a kind art pieces that you only see at Manitou Springs, Colorado.
