I've always found it interesting, sometimes even fascinating to see how things have changed or not with the passage of the years. So I give you, Golden, Then and Now:
Wildcat Point, Lookout Mountain

I then wandered down towards Golden itself and into the campus for the Colorado School of Mines or CSM.
The rest of the buildings that I could see on campus were more modern buildings, so I left campus and headed for main street Golden.
Finally, I give you one last shot of Natasha as she was making her way back down Lookout Mountain, no historical shot to go with it.

Hope you're getting some riding in these days, the weather has been pretty near perfect. Though the number of riders I see without helmets or riding gear is a bit more numerous than I'd like to see. Then again, it's their skin and head right?

It was fascinating to see the differences between then and now. What a good idea you had to take the up-to-date photos and then compare them.
