Through the looking glass that is my windshield
Looks like everyone else is doing video on their roads sites, so I thought it best to jump on the video bandwagon. And, before you ask, yes, I would jump off a bridge if my friends were doing it. Thanks, mom.
I've shot these videos in and around the Colorado Springs area. Most videos are in the WMV format, but that's only because I don't have that much web space available. So there. I've included the YouTube versions of each video, but if you don't want one with all the artifacts, I recommend clicking on the title of the video to download the snazziness. New videos will have this grey background, just like on my various trips page.
COSMIX Videos
Well, since I'm not doing the best of job updating my COSMIX pages, I thought it best to start off with video I've shot in the COSMIX Zone.
-->Northbound, August 23, 2006. (47MB WMV)
See the starts of the heavy lifting around the Nevada/Rockrimmon interchange and the definition of "Trafficus Jamus."
Roadtrip Videos
While out and about, when not using the camera to take picts, I get it set up to take video. Here's the result. As with the COSMIX section, most of the videos will be in WMV format.
-->Out and About 1. (47.5MB WMV)
Heading west from Colorado Springs on US 24, then turning north on SH 67 when the sun gets too bad.
-->A new State Highway! (71.1MB WMV)
In October 2007, CDOT did something they haven't done in twenty-some-odd years: create a new state highway. SH 21 is an eastern bypass of Colorado Springs, with grandiose intentions to connect with Interstate 25 on both sides of the metro area. Take a trip on the newly minted highway with me, and watch out for the EARTHQUAKE-CAM!
-->Glenwood Canyon (75.3MB WMV)
Come travel one of the most scenic drives on our nation's Interstate system: Glenwood Canyon. This drive takes I-70 throught he heart of a steep-walled canyon. Expanding the interstate to four lanes through here was a feat, and the end result is just brilliant. See for yourself!
More videos as they're taken, mixed, and uploaded.
