Not Your Average City Park

I'm visiting family in Colorado Springs and we had a short but interesting walk in the city park known as Garden of the Gods. Calling it a treat for photography is really an understatement. The formations are always intriguing and look different across the day, days, and seasons. This view was one of my favorites.
