Garden of the Gods

Not hard to see why they call it that. Also not hard to see that my lens was filthy. Really should have attended to that before I went snapping away like a lunatic. Well it's cleaned up somewhat for here, but if I ever print this out, it'll have to undergo some serious spot cleaning.

As you can see hre, and in future images from the Garden, the skies went from heavy overast, or bright sun in a matter of minutes.

Fixed

As you can see, the colour profile issue has been fixed. I was partially correct in my assumptions about what was wrong, but with the help of some kind people, fixed the underlying culprit, Adobe colour profiles. By default Adobe uses some advanced profiles (for professionals of course) and programs like Internet Explorer cannot handle them. So without losing too much data, the profile is converted to something that IE can handle. And thus the images turn out like i took them.

In this case, a forgotten firetruck in a field.
