Colorado Springs in the Fall
Here is what it looks like around here when the sun goes down... it's beautiful.
I took these yesterday at about 5:00, sundown.

Re: Colorado Springs in the Fall
Those are very interesting geological structures in the first picture. My past geology teachers would have field days on those.
Would you mind explaining what they're made of and how they were formed?

Re: Colorado Springs in the Fall
yeah, those are made out of sandstone, basically they used to be at the bottom of the inland sea, to the left of those, out of frame are ones that are completly white... they made up the white sand beach that was the shore of the inland sea... if you look closely at those (in real life) you can see fossils of sea shells and stuff. When the rocky mountains were formed, they were forced up sideways, they things go all the way up through wyoming... I have the same pictures but 200 miles away, lemme post those: I've had many a-geology trip there.
these are like 400+ feet tall, they are huge.
here is a crappy example of scale on these puppies, we climb there all the time.
this is the same "range" of rocks, 200 miles north... keeps going like the energizer bunny

Re: Colorado Springs in the Fall
Amazing.
Hahah, I guessed sea-formed sandstone. I'm a nerd.
These pictures make me wonder why I've been to the dunes countless times, but never to colorado..

Wow, your home is so picturesque. It looks like something out of a magazine or film.

I know I'm a bit late for this, but I recognize that place since I stayed in Colorado Springs during the summer. A friend I know from Monument took me there. Garden of the Gods. Very nice place.
