Garden of the Gods and my Volvo 1800S

Poor old 64SAINT was looking a little moth-bombed this morning, so I took it out to wash it. Since it was a bloody glorious day – dare I say it, heavenly – I drove it to Garden of the Gods Park to photograph it. It was also a great opportunity to play around with my new Canon 60D as well. I had on the EF-S 18-55mm lens, so there’s lots of wide-angle shots.

Without further ado, here’s a brief selection of photos. You can see the full set on my Flickr page. Or as a slideshow.

This one was taken in the Visitor Center car park and shows the Kissing Camels formation in the background:

Including Pikes Peak in the background as well:

In the park now:

Love the jagged “teeth” and the trees in this one:

And, finally (for here at least), the reverse side of the Kissing Camels:
