Garden of the Gods, Colorado.

Remaining snow from the last snowfall provides excellent contrast against the sandstone rock formations within Garden of the Gods National Landmark on a cloudless day. Roughly 65 million years ago, as tectonic plates collided, overlying layers of sedimentary rock were forced upwards creating the iconic sandstone formations we see today.
