Denver : COL.

 A wonderfully colourful postcard from "The Garden of The Gods " in Colorado.. What a lovely card..Thanks again Melissa you spoil me two in one day..The card states that the frozen formations of The Garden of The Gods attracts millions of visitors to this un- paralelled sandstone garden. This giant sandstone formation, appropriately named "The Balanced Rock" stands so precariously on its small base. The soft shale material of the base eroded quicker than the more resilient sandstone above creating this amazing spectacle.. a lovely card..thanks again Mel..
