20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Painted Hills

The Painted Hills is a state park located in Central Oregon near the small town of Mitchell. I was doing some work for the BLM Bureau of Land Management from where I retired in 2011 and was passing the painted hills following a rain storm which made the red colors stand out, so stopped and took a number of photos.
