This is a view in Colorado Springs showing Garden of the God's, and Pike's Peak.

There is a breathtaking view every time you turn around. When I visit, I always end up taking around 100 pictures of the mountains in various lights.

Of course the view from the top is something else entirely. I'm a wimp when it comes to heights, so the drive up was nerve wracking. I may or may not have had an anxiety attack (hint: I did). However, the view is definitely worth it.

Thank you for these lovely pictures, Dorothy! And as you can imagine, mountains (Himalayas!) play a big role in the world of the Indian Epics. Maybe you will do a mountain-inspired project for class... you could be wandering the mountains of Colorado and find yourself magically transported to some mythological mountain peak in India: garden of the gods indeed! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Dorothy! The pictures you shared of Colorado are absolutely beautiful! I can definitely see why it's your favorite place. The fact that you're willing to push through your fear of heights to go and see the mountains says a lot about how beautiful they are too. I've always wanted to go to Colorado and your post made me want to go as soon as possible.
