On Saturday morning I drove to the Garden of the Gods. I have lived three hours away but I do not remember ever visiting. I thought it was beautiful and a great place to take photos. It is another amazing gift of art provided by nature. Found myself just standing in awe and wonder. So many questions ran through my head about how it was formed, the time it took, the laws of nature that have, and still are at work, in forming this scene and the native people who lived here. So, the rest of my today will consist of laundry and reading. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Beautiful and a worthy reason to make that 3-hr drive. 🙂

I’ll visit again. Hope you’re having a good weekend.

Lovely imagery of a place I almost visited. Two years ago I left Rocky Mountain NP on my way south to Taos and planned to stop in but just couldn’t work it in. It’s still on my list and now I’m re-inspired to make the effort. Take care.

It took me a few years to get there and take a few images. So, I guess it takes whatever it takes.

I was just reading about this place a couple of days ago and was going to ask you if you’d visited it. Well, I have my answer. Hadn’t heard of it until I’d read about it and from these photos it looks as good as I imagine it 🙂

Yes, the is a presence about the place. I happened to be there early before the tourists began their assault on the serenity of the place.

We visited there on our trip to Colorado several years ago and I remember it as a hauntingly fascinating place.

I assumed you two made a visit when you were out here. What a gift it is.

Wow! Well worth the drive, I’d say. I’d love to get there early in the morning, before sunrise, and happily click the morning away!

Thanks, Paul. I’ve been down here for four weeks now with some training. It’s actually only about 15 minutes from where I’m staying. Loved it!
