What A View by randydpoll

One of the great views in the natural world-Pikes Peak and the front range of the Rocky Mountains behind the Garden of the Gods. I took this shot at sunrise. We are so lucky here in Colorado Springs to be able to view this natural wonder!

The Blacksmith Shop at the Ranch by delorespoll

The Rockledge Ranch Historic Site, adjacent to the Garden of the Gods, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a living history museum in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The restored buildings depict life in the Pikes Peak region in four time periods and in four different households: American Indian life in 1775; an 1860s cabin; an 1880s farm; and a 1907 Edwardian Country Estate. This is my second shot at sunset taken from behind the Blacksmith Shop. It was one of the most beautiful skies I’ve ever seen. The buildings are opened several times a year with actors portraying the characters from the 1800’s.

Sunflowers at the Rockledge Ranch by randydpoll

This time of year is a good time for sunflowers at the Rockledge Ranch at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. I believe they will turn yellow soon.
