Garden of the Gods

I am continually amazed that this is a city park in Colorado Springs, CO. Last week we were experiencing warm days and great light at sunset. Usually, the light at sunrise is the way to go.

Sweet light and colors.

It could just be my laptop but the perpendiculars see off

Thanks Rick. You are right, the rocks are tilted, but the camera was level. A dilemma for me was to shoot it as it is, or make it look "right" by tilting the camera. I really like this light. This is shot looking south, so the whole right side out of the frame of this image is a glowing magenta orange sunset.

I knew immediately from the thumb this was Garden of the Gods. Beautiful sky Russ. Love the warm light on the spires.

Great color, and leaving the tilt to the rocks is perfect. Appropriately named place!
