I’m going to write more about our trip to Garden of the Gods, but I wanted to put this picture up now.  The photos below comprise a stereogram.  If you relax your eyes and focus in the distance, you can make the two pictures merge into a single image that will appear in 3D.  I’ve wanted to experiment with this type of photography for a while, and this trip seemed like a good time to try.  I’ve collected a few other pairs of photographs during our vacation.  I’ll post some more of them later.

Note:  It may be easier to see the 3d effect if you don’t click on the picture to enlarge it to full size… I find it easier with the smaller version… Your mileage may vary.

Update:  It seems that by convention, most stereograms are viewed by crossing the eyes, not by staring into the distance.  Here’s a second version of the photo that can be viewed by eye-crossing.  Personally, I find that this version hurts my eyes, but I want to make sure that other people can view the picture.
