Garden of the Gods Photo

Photographer’s Note

Garden of the Gods is a public park located in Colorado Springs. It contains conglomerate sandstone hogback formations belonging geologically to the Fountain Formation, similar to the Red Rocks west of Denver. The name Colorado is said to come from the color of this sandstone.
Entrance to the park is free according to the wish of Charles Elliott Perkins, whose children donated the land to the city of Colorado Springs in 1909. It contains numerous trails for hiking, walking, mountain biking and horseback riding. One of the most popular trails, Perkins has been paved, in an effort to combat the erosion of the park's central garden caused by its numerous visitors.

Henryk - the rocks stand out really well, and the sun peaking over the mountain/rocks is a nice touch.
Cheers,
Dave.

Hello Henryk,
A nice composition with the inclusion of the foregroundplant due to the wide lens.
Regards
Didier

Brilliant light and foreground grasses. Fr me I wonder if the sky could be a touch darker to add mood, but a great photo. Nice one.

Cheers, Dave
