The Story Behind This Shot

The sky going full crimson and violet above the great spires at Garden of the Gods, the rock holding a deep rust red in the half light before the sun clears the horizon. Junipers stand black along the base and Pikes Peak sits dark on the right. Mornings like this last a few minutes and then the whole sky flattens out. A dramatic, high-color Colorado Springs print that carries a wall on its own.
