Love the diagonals and color!
Thanks Margaret, it's one of my favorites from the area.
Beautiful Zeph! Was this taken in Peru?
Thanks Zac. This place, the Painted Hills, is part of the John Day area, a few mile NW of Mitchell Oregon
Really like the colors!
This is so beautiful! (It's actually quite calming, too, with the smooth lines and colors)
Never seen anything like it. So colorful.
