It was just a yearly checkup at the VA clinic, but the gears in my mind began to turn… The route to the doctor’s office goes right past Garden of the Gods! So I packed up and left three hours early in hopes of a few shots of the Garden in Winter. Unfortunately there wasn’t much snow but the day and the sky were magnificent. I also liked the stark scene that the leafless trees created at the base of the huge red spires. Good advice though, never leave the camera at home! The polarizer on the shot below was a big help too… without it the beautiful wispy cirrus clouds were virtually invisible.
