August 2: Sex, Lies, and Videotape

Colorado Springs, CO

Sex: I was born in that hospital that rises several stories on the lower left. However at the time I think it was a tent or a tepee! ;-)

Lies: Seldom shown by photographers extolling the virtues of the Front Range are the two scars created by **open pit mining ** on the face of the mountains.

Videotape: Film at 11 ;-)

Oh, the mountain is Pike's Peak @ 14,110 feet.

Very nice shot Robin. I like the dramatic clouds.

Guest		06-Aug-2005 16:11
Thanks for the info, Pikes Peak is almost as high as Whitney!!!!

Guest		04-Aug-2005 06:37
LOL! Your comment is hysterical. Beautiful CO shot.

I think what I like best about this shot Robin is the mountains dwarfing the ground. It is sort of an amazing sight and well captured by you.

Guest		03-Aug-2005 21:54
Wow, a fantastic view!

Great majestic landscape.

Beautiful background!

What a view for a newborn...My only experience of Pike's Peak was in a heavy fog, and the drive up scared me to death. Hope to get back and see it properly. Until I do, this image is beautiful, Robin.

the hospital is ideally placed if you fall down the mountain heheh

@ Gary ... been there, done that! ;-)

Gary Winters		03-Aug-2005 03:59
You gonna climb it?

Karen Leaf		03-Aug-2005 03:20
The immenseness! Wow. BTW, what channel?

Guest		03-Aug-2005 00:25
I love the cloud shadows on the mountains. Beautiful shot.

CJ Burianek		03-Aug-2005 00:21
Nice view... that sure is one big mountain!

Robin Reid		03-Aug-2005 00:19
@ Bandito...yes that is Barr trail above timberline. Quite a hike!

Guest		03-Aug-2005 00:11
Very nice shot - what a beautiful, dramatic view. You have so much resolution in this, you can see the criss-crossing trail leading up the side at the top, above timberline. I remember it being called the Barr Trail? Or is that just the lower section?

Di		02-Aug-2005 23:48
OMG Robin, you never fail to make me laugh! And yes, that's Pikes Peak...I'd know it anywhere. I rather like this shot as it gives justice to that size of that 14'er that just juts straight up out of the ground. Well done.

Herb		02-Aug-2005 23:09
Great shot

Coleen Perilloux Landry		02-Aug-2005 22:40
Very pretty shot, Robin. Your first view of the world. I thought your title would read "Sex, Lies and Women" before I hit the full view button.

Johan Toll		02-Aug-2005 22:20
Fantastic view! I like the shadows too, very nice!

Breland		02-Aug-2005 22:16
Great shot Robin I like the cloud shadows.
