Description
This is for Bill ... another special day to honor that first special day.
The Painted Hills in Oregon are absolutely spectacular.
Although I did a bit of work to bring out the colors, they really are there, and they really are amazingly vivid.
About 33 million years ago volcanic activity laid down a series of bentonite clay hills striped in bands of color. Warm reds are from iron oxides, similar to those of ordinary rust. Yellows and oranges can be a blend of iron and magnesium oxides, greens are caused by yellow in combination with blue celadonite, and the lavenders come from rhyolitic lava.
Aren't you glad I dug up all that information? LOL!
There's a wonderful game that's been going on in the Forum for ages and ages, and it's loads of fun! Check it out here ...

Perfect timing!
Spectacular and the light is spot on.

WOW at the natural beauty. :))))) Most excellent capture my friend. :)))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :)))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))))
Phantastic capture!
Like the textures you've brought out as well!
Gorgeous! I would love to see this in person! The colors and folds are so beautiful. Excellent capture! Thanks for the info. I won't remember it, but it is interesting to know the reasons for the different colors. Thanks for the link too. I had fun looking at the most recent images. I don't have any old keys though and the only image I have of one is somewhere on a film negative. It is of the key to a parish church and I took the picture because I had never seen a key so huge. I'll try to remember to check out the game again.
I can't believe this is real! Ethereal beauty.
