Colorado National Monument

It's only ca. 10 miles from my home, but I hadn't been up there for I-can't-remember-how-many COVID months. I finally went up for a bit two days ago, and I was reminded just how amazing it is. Here are two snaps - I'd previously converted these to B&W for this week's Collective Shoot - but these better convey the views.

I'd love to see these, Eric, but they're not showing.

Thanks, Karen & Jim - hope that is rectified now.

Well done. That stone tower reminds me of Spider Woman Rock in Canyon de Chelly.

You need to go there more often and share lots of photos with us. I love red rock country!! I agree that these were nice in Black and White as they really showed the textures, but the colors are what makes the southwest so special!! I love the views in these.

I know this place! Love that part of the country. Great job on the photos.
But here in the Mid-West where I live we call that: "A bad case of erosion!".
Those pictures make me miss that area.. love it out there.

Thanks for sharing. I haven't been there since a college field trip in the 1980s. I still have a night shot on my wall I took there.

Eric, wish I had known you were in the area. We were there in 2018....We drove up as the bicyclists were flying down! I was scared to death a cylcist would come around a corner and be plastered on the grill of our big truck! LOL!

Beautiful images Eric. The arch in the first image is very interesting.
