surprising

Smith Rock State Park, Oregon

the proliferation of reddish rock here was surprising, more like what one would expect in the Southwest...in late afternoon light a good glow develops on the jagged formations

Wow, I thought this was the southwest! Gorgeous colours brought out fully by that lovely light. Super shot. V

You're right; very different from what one would expect. Beautiful shadows defining the jiggered rocks and crevices. Nicely captured photo of this rugged terrain, David. Vote.

I agree. I never knew they had rock like this up there. Beautiful capture with delicious color and capture. ~BV~

And I just visited the park web site and found out that remote controlled aircraft are not allowed. ☹️

Really nice light on those outcrops. Looks like a place I'd like to shoot with the drone.

Marvelous color and light in this beautiful capture. Not like anything I've ever seen in Oregon, where I've spent a lot of time since Tim is from there.
Charlene Ambrose01-Oct-2018 19:22
Excellent capture in this light. I would agree that it's what you expect to see in the Southwest. Have not heard of this park. V

More of Oregon is high desert (Oregon Outback) than mountains and beach. The Oregon has the most eclectic mix of landscapes of any state except California. The shadows brings up the details of the formations. Love the light! V
