More from the Garden of the Gods...

"BALANCE"

Another orphan from my + "Collection"

Adding now to a new, partially re-constructed "album" on Flickr,
@ https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjD1zWK

Photo by Fenichel - "Balance" A huge reddish rock, about 3-4 'stories' tall, stands with its base very narrow, so thin it is like a spinning top which is precariously balanced. Below, the 'base' is red and white striated rock. Above and aorund the main rock formation, there is a blue sky mixed with white clouds.

Here's the only image I can find now, to illustrate the scale of this rock. (Both from my phone). Good news: I found some original files, much higher quality/resolution, from DSLR.

Some added, or will be, to my Flickr/COLORADO album

Found some facts about this rock's origin and history too:

<<

was exposed more than 60 million years ago when the existing Rocky Mountains rose....

Photo by Fenichel: Balancing Rock (Garden of the Gods) Here is an image offering some sense of scale and perspective. The legendary rock, which sits on a precarious-looking base, is seen here with a tourist (lower left) striking a pose at its base, pretending to push it over.
