The Story Behind This Shot

Sunrise at Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from a high spot among the junipers, looking across the tall pink sandstone fins toward the city and the plains with the sky lit orange and yellow. The higher angle shows how the formations rise straight out of the forest. December mornings here are cold but quiet, and the low winter sun gives the rock its richest color. A layered red-rock sunrise print that works well as a centerpiece.
