[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken very late afternoon, at the 'Garden of the Gods', just outside Colorado Springs.

"The outstanding geologic features of the park are the ancient sedimentary beds of red and white sandstones, conglomerates and limestone that were deposited horizontally, but have now been tilted vertically and faulted by the immense mountain building forces caused by the uplift of the Pikes Peak massif. Evidence of past ages; ancient seas, eroded remains of ancestral mountain ranges, alluvial fans, sandy beaches and great sand dune fields can be read in the rocks. A spectacular shear fault can be observed where the Tower of Babel (Lyons Sandstone) contacts the Fountain Formation.[1] The name Colorado is said to come from the color of the sandstone. There are many fossils to be seen: marine forms, plant fossils, and some dinosaur fossils."

selam dear Chris...
nice shot and focus...selamlar

Ciao Chris, fantastic landscape with splendid light and wonderful colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Chris,

A good viewpoint to capture this late afternoon shot. The f/g rocks give immediate interest and the l/h bush funnel the eyes forwards.
I love how the long shadows stretch out across the road.
The rocks show up proudly against the grey clouds. They have taken the full force of the low sun ... perhaps could be toned down a little.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,

HI Chris,
ooohhhh, it's wonderful, I love this place - the garden of the gods, and it's the same as I saw it 20 years ago ;-)
I searched for my old slides - to scan a shot - but my slide-scanner is out of work ;-(
So thanks for your shot - bringing back so many nice memories in me, greetings
