      ****************

"The name of the location is Garden of the Gods,  Colorado Springs, CO , near the base
of Pikes Peak. The rock is Balanced Rock.  “During the 1890's a youngster of fourteen
named Curt Goerke began taking photographs of visitors to the rock for a quarter of a
dollar each.....By the first decade of the twentieth century, the pair were taking pictures
of tourists - often seating them atop the four burros kept nearby.”

      ****************

"Balanced Rock has often been called the Eighth Wonder of the World. However that
may be, it has certainly been one of the world's most photgraphed rocks. Favorite
photographs have included those of someone trying to push the rock over or of
someone posed in front of the rock, sitting astride a burro or horse."
