PAINTED HILLS
The painted hills near John Day, Oregon are truly a geological wonderland. I've made many road trips there working on images that are befitting of such a unique location. On the day this image was shot, my traveling partner was Emma, our 4 year old daughter. As usual, she was a game companion who remained in good spirits throughout our long day. As you can see, it was cloudy with periodic sun breaks. I'm extremely pleased with the dark cloudy sky, the sunlit painted hills in the mid-ground and the delicate dried grasses in the foreground. I hope you enjoy this image from our father-daughter road trip
