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.

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!

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.
