It totals 3,132 acres and is located 9 miles northwest of Mitchell, Oregon. The Painted Hills are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Wikipedia"Time
Taken on a late summer afternoon .Lighting
I was told at the museum that one of the best times to take pictures is late afternoon for the natural color dominance.Equipment
I used only my hand held Nikon COOLPIX P100 camera.Inspiration
I was so inspired by the geological uniqueness of the "Painted Hills"Editing
I most always do slight adjustments of light and cropping on my IMAX computor's photo program.In my camera bag
I carry no bag and only wish that my camera would take a polarizing lens.Feedback
Just enjoy the wonders of nature all around us.
