Contrasts

[AlanLichty]

One of the striking things about the unusual formations at the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument are the contrasts between the exposed materials and those still hiding under the layers of vegetation. This is one such example in the Foree area of the Sheep Rock Unit of the monument. For the record I have no clue where the name Foree comes from even after multiple online searches.

This is unique, I love that mint green in the rocks.

That's quite the contrast here Alan. It's interesting how you get some sections that get bared and pushed up like this.

it doesn't look that big until you see the size of the plants on the right. love how the green on the rocks adds to the texture.
