The call of the open road

With mounting gas prices, the title seems a little out of place, don't you think. But I haven't had a real chance to experiment with my camera ever since we came back from our trip to Colorado, so I continue to pay tributes to what I think was as close to Xanadu as it can get, for us the Kubla Khans on the road :)

Colorado continues........

This ranch shot is for my husband who fell in love with the sunbaked Western landscape, the instant he reached there :)

While I fell in love with the sign :D

And no barn goes un-shot :)

The Garden of the Gods

It's the third day of our "vacation" here in Colorado and it just keeps getting better every day :) Every turn, every bend has an image to offer. This trip's doing wonders for my work-weary soul :) And the fact that my recently acquired D40 makes a debut with this trip makes it all the more special :) This was the first pic on the trip that I took with my latest object of affection. Critics, don't give me grief on over/under exposures etc. 'coz honestly I am overwhelmed with all the bells and whistles a DSLR comes with so am taking no chances and shooting in Auto mode till I know better :)
