Jamming at the library

The Laramie County Library is quickly becoming my favorite place in Cheyenne. It’s probably the nicest library I’ve ever seen with multiple floors and a coffee shop downstairs. But most importantly it has a very aggressive activities schedule with a ton of events for adults and youngsters. With two holes for feature photos in the paper almost every day and not many assignments, I spend a large amount of time feature hunting. The library makes my life a lot easier because there are several events each month that I can snag for features.

Mark Madrid, a 10th grader at Cheyenne East High School, plays his guitar during a jam session on Thursday, April 14, 2011, in the teen lounge at the Laramie County Library. The library holds an acoustic instrument jam session on the second Thursday of each month in the second-floor lounge.

Smoke on the steps

Things seemed to crawl a little bit today. It was a relatively slow news day so I decided to go feature hunting about mid-day rather than spend too much time at my desk. I took a swing past the capitol and noticed that workers were installing new limestone steps at the south entrance. That entrance is currently undergoing a bit of a face lift so I’ve been cruising past there every few days to see the progress. I walked up and starting taking photos outside of the orange safety fence until one of the workers (pictured below) motioned for me to come closer. I thought it was kind of a quirky scene how he was working with steps above and below.

Donald "Dog" Jones, a worker for Harold F. Johnson Masonry, grinds down a piece of stone as he and other workers prepare to install a row of limestone steps on Monday, April 4, 2011, at the south entrance to the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne. Workers are replacing most of the capitol's steps as part of a project to revitalize the capitols entrance, which has included cutting down two trees and moving a statue.
