Red Rocks Amphitheatre is considered by many as the greatest music venue in the world (including most of the people who submitted it). The naturally occurring amphitheatre is between two 320 foot monoliths, Ship Rock to the south and Creation Rock to the north, which provide excellent acoustics for live music.

Apparently you might recognise Red Rocks from the U2 live video and album “Under a Blood Red Sky”, which was filmed there way back in 1983. U2 must be getting really old by now

Doug described these things in Colorado as ‘deep space satellites’. Can anyone confirm what they are? (Please, please don’t say ‘weather balloons’…)

Update: Turns out that these are actually two parabolic dish antennas belonging to the Deep Space Exploration Society located in the Table Mountain Antenna Fields Site.

Thanks to everyone is the comments for clearing that up

The 2002 design for the Fritzlers Corn Maze depicts an eagle in front of the American flag and the slogan “God Bless America”.

Remember the super secret bunker they always use in Stargate, Deep Impact and various other films? Well, here it is. It’s official name is the Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center and is designed “to ensure 70 percent probability of continuing to function against a five megaton weapon with a three mile circular error probability”.
