Description
...still in the Painted Hills in Central Oregon.
...as we walked along the trail here we could see differences in weathering and mineral content of the hills, a blue lake, and the varied green plants producing a striking show of color.
...the warm red hill colors are from iron oxides, similar to those of ordinary rust. Yellows and oranges can be a blend of iron and magnesium oxides, and the lavenders from rhyolitic lava.
...this experience was just like walking on a giant painter's palette.

such a gorgeous landscape with a wonderful depth
Stunning Bill.
I been to the painted desure out west but not here . not sure what state that in. cool looking
I love the way this pops; the colors are intense but subtle, not overwhelming at all. It's just the opposite of overwhelming, actually, because it invites the viewer in rather than...well...overwhelms and pushes back. I love the slopy bits and the surprising presence of greenery where there seem to be implications that greenery isn't welcome in the environment. Nature has such a fantastic way of achieving that kind of surprising, sometimes contradictory balance. You've captured that perfectly. Oregon looks so big too. I mean, that's a whole lotta landscape!
Very striking landscape Bill, love the variety of colours pretty amazing place by the look of it!!
A gorgeous shot, Bill! I love the progression of warm to cool colors as the distance increases. This really has a lot of depth to it. A sweeping and beautiful landscape!
Very striking contrasts against the blue and white sky!

A very lovely capture Bill, so much contrast.
Amazing to see all these oxides and carbonates on the ground as it were, and not in packets, like in my collection of pottery materials!

A stunning array of colors, blends, contrasts, textures and silhouetting in this remarkable panorama, Bill. The foreground soil does look like a blanket of oxide.
