Taken at approx. 30 minutes before sunset on Sep 4, 2018...

Garden of the Gods Park in Colorado Springs showcased the red, pink and white rocks (sandstones and limestones) formed millions of years ago due to upheavals in the earth’s surface and erosion.

"White Rock" was the first large rock we saw entering the Garden of the Gods from the east and the last we photographed. It's composed of white sandstone of the Lyons Formation, bordered by a crinkly limestone ridge and layers of soft gypsum. The setting sun made the rock glow.

*No EXIF as I lost all the photos from that trip (really don't know how that happened!), good thing I had posted the better ones on my Facebook account, and thanks to Topaz Lab's Gigapixel software I was able to restore some details and quality back.

Have a safe and happy day!
