Garden of the Gods

Or, given the politico-socio-religious nature of Colorado Springs…shouldn’t that be “Garden of the One True God”?

Anyway, we were there for images, not a religious debate. (Although, capturing images in beautiful pre-dawn light can certainly be a spiritual experience!)

The big question: How much differently would I “see” the Garden as compared to all the picture-postcard images one sees racked up around the state?

Here is the answer…

I tended to focus on parts of the landscape:

The Gods #1. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013
The Gods #1. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013

 

Shapes and forms:

Sun Tower. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013
Sun Tower. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013

 

Textures:

The Gods #7. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013
The Gods #7. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013

 

Then, the moon came out:

The Gods #14. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013
The Gods #14. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013

 

And a night experiment:

The Gods at Night. Garden of the Gods, Colorado, 2013
