Chaenactis and Bee-plant blooming on volcanic ash hills,
Painted Hills Unit, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon, 1997
The
Painted Hills are located in a remote area of Central Oregon. Off the
beaten track a bit, but well worth the side trip. I took this image at
sunrise to get the saturated colors. The surrounding landscape is surreal:
smooth rounded hills of earth-tone layered colors.
