"The community of Rome in Malheur County received its name from the imposing nearby formations of fossil-bearing clay that look like Roman ruins. The 100-foot high formations, which are also known as the “Pillars of Rome,” measure about five miles long and two miles wide."

I was hoping to capture some golden hour shots but at the time (September 2022) the smoke from wildfires in Oregon and California were playing havoc with lighting (as well as air quality.
This was my third trip to the Steens Mountain Wilderness Area and Alvord Desert last year and at the time of this photo the temperature had cooled down to 40° C (104F).
This is a four shot panorama stitched.
This photo was taken from the summit of the Steens Mountain a couple days later....a tad bit smokey!
