SIAMESE TWINS in Garden of the Gods (Colorado Springs, CO)
May 4, 2004

The Siamese Twins inside Garden of the Gods! |
 |
The trail from the parking lot is only about a ten minute walk. |
 |
The rocks, shaped like siamese twins, with
Pikes Peak in the background. |
 |
Photography is probably best in the morning,
when the sun is coming from the east. I showed up around
4 p.m. and uh, well, I did my best with the silhouette effects that the poor lighting offered! ;) |
 |
The back (western) side of the Siamese Twins. |
 |
Again, lighting was fairly poor.
A zoom-in of Pikes Peak. |
 |
TOP: The ground is very dry and clay-like.
BOTTOM: In fact, notice how crumbly some of the red dirt is! |
 |
A couple of shots of the red rock terrain. |
 |
Walk up a ridge beside the Siamese Twins and you'll get a nice view of the larger rock structures, including the Kissing Camels. |
 |
A cactus patch! |
 |
A nice looking tree.
