The Paint Mines Interpretive Park, in Calhan, is a very unique location. I had been there once before and wanted to check it out again. I remembered the beautiful colors but not the wind farm surrounding it. Now, I have nothing against wind energy but I do draw the line when they are built around such a fantastic location. It's still worth the visit and by using a low angle, you can get those towers out of the background, most of the time. The light is good in the morning and evening, showing off  each side of the canyon. I was there on a 80 degree day, mid February, by myself!
