Kissing Camels Garden of the Gods Front Range Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
Two pinnacles of red Lyons sandstone, leaning across the saddle of a fin, their heads just touching. The shape carries from a mile down the road; most visitors see it before they know what they're looking at. The park sits below Pikes Peak, on land the Perkins children gave to Colorado Springs in 1909 with one condition: it stay free, forever. Morning light catches the red of the sandstone; by late afternoon the camels read as a silhouette against the western sky.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
