I am embarrassed to say that having lived here almost 72 years this was my first visit to Painted Hills at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. These photos were from a mid-day photo scouting trip. I think golden hour would be best for this location as I am oriented ENE.

Very nice! Even if it isn’t golden hour, it’s beautiful country. Thanks for taking us along with you.

Edit: In the last photo, what are the dark streaks? Is that a coal seam coming through the other sediment, or some other rock type?

Darn it Dean. Now another place added to the “list”. Great set, hope you get there for golden hour soon.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
