Hillside Blooms

There is a lot of private land surrounding the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument and pretty much every inch of it is posted land. This keeps most folks from ever seeing what is on the other side of the fence - unless you get to a high location and shoot it with a telephoto lens :)

In this case I took a trail that goes to an overlook area 800' above the Blue Basin and was treated to a neat view of a bloom display on the neighboring private lands. The exposed soils very closely resemble the formation at the Painted Hills but they are 35 miles away as a crow flies.


C&C always welcome.

Great find Alan, and good on you for taking the trouble to find it. This is a good way to get some non iconic and private landscapes. I like it.
