I live on the northwest side of Colorado Springs. At lunch I often take walks in Ute Valley Park, Garden of the Gods, along the Santa Fe Trail, etc. I, of course, take my camera. Familiarity and harsh noon light, makes it a challenging time to take pictures. But it is a great way to exercise, both physically and creatively. In a week of lunch time walks, I may take around 100+ pictures. Most of the pictures are experiments. Playing with different angles of familiar sights, unusual subjects, new techniques. Most of the are utter failures. This photo, I think, works. I like the simplicity of form and color in contrast with the great texture of the rock.Tuesday, March 17, 2009

Well, paint me green with envy. I work on one of the many military bases, NO wondering around and definitely NO cameras.
Ouch! I'm sure that there would be some interesting pictures if you could take them :)
It is a nice place to work and live over here.
