I picked up a used Nikon D5000 body from a fellow AM'er a few weeks ago and hadn't really had a chance to capture any images with it, so I took it out to Red Rocks Park on west edge of Denver one clear morning last week after a light snowfall. Here's a few samples -- this is Creation Rock and the backside of the amphitheater stage structure, taken from the Trading Post.

Next is the south access ramp up to the amphitheater.

A clump of pines on the sandstone ridge, with the late-setting waning moon.

Sandstone uplift typical of the park.

Usually I am there at this time of year, but not this year. At least I get to look at the pictures.
Nice shots.
