The Story Behind This Shot

Sunrise over Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with the sky burning orange and red behind the tall sandstone fins and the scrub-covered hills below still in shadow. The dark foreground keeps all the attention on the color and the jagged outline of the rocks. The park is free and opens early, which makes it one of the easiest world-class sunrise locations in the state. A dramatic, high-contrast red-rock print that holds its own on a big wall.
