[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 2633570, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]OK. I've officially become a backslider, both from a Christian viewpoint and that of a photographer. Allow me to explain. A commonly known city park in Colorado Springs is Garden of the Gods, with some huge rock formations. A lesser known city park in Colorado Springs is one called Red Rock Canyon Open Space. It also has rock formations, although not as large nor as impressive in their beauty. However, while the wife was with her sister sewing, I took the opportunity to go to Red Rock Canyon Open Space to take some pictures in there and to test out some issues with one of my cameras. While the park was nice enough, I found myself distracted by others in the park. For instance, there is a pond there with signs stating no swimming. There are also rules stating that without the proper equipment and a permit, one is not supposed to climb up any rock formations more than 10 feet from the base. There was a group of boys, with an adult supervisor no less, that was ignoring the signs about swimming. There were also some folks there that were climbing higher than 10 feet and without climbing gear, so I have to presume that they also didn't have permits. Anyway, this post is to show a few shots of the park, but it also shows some of the distractions that took my mind off of photographing nature.
