Description I spent the holiday weekend in Garden of the Gods... an area just a little over an hour south of where I live... It is an extremely beautiful place with lots of trails for hiking... The sortof snowy peak in the back is Pikes Peak...

Within the Garden are very unique and beautiful red rock formations....

gorgeous landscape. i'd love to visit colorado. but i'd probably never leave.

[funny thing: we have a place nearby--1.5 hrs southwest--in the Shawnee National Forest also called 'Garden of the Gods.' tallest cliff, though, is barely over 100 feet. an anthill compared to what you get to see]

shawnee national forest, heard of it, but where is it again?
And colorado is lovely... I like going other places though... no water here! But mountains are great too

ZRX1200R In reply to PenelopeT [2008-05-28 21:02:51 +0000 UTC]

no water? isn't that because arizona takes yours?

shawnee is in southern illinois.

DigiMax2 [2008-05-28 00:39:30 +0000 UTC]

looks beautiful. Makes me want to be there.
Have you tried stitching photos for a wide panoramic view yet?
I've done it a few times and the results are very impressive. But I am still using PS 7 and have to do it manually.
CS3 is suppose to do a very good job of it automatically.

PenelopeT In reply to DigiMax2 [2008-05-28 02:16:59 +0000 UTC]

I also still have PS 7 but am getting the CS 3 in a few months.... then I shall try my hand at the stitching...
