One of the many panoramic views from Observation Trail along the Garden Of The Gods, located in the Shawnee National Forest. It was raining on and off all day and you can see one of these little showers developing off to the right of the image. Still, it didn't dampen the spirits of the few other groups of people who were out on this day to see the rock formations that millions of years ago sat at the bottom of an ocean.
