Description

Sinuous layers of drainages fill with yellow springtime balsamroot flowers in this beautifully vivid section of Painted Hills. Just looking closely at one part of Painted Hills is perhaps more awe-inspiring than looking at the entire formation at once. The angle and strength of the sun really changes the look of things here, which is very cool to watch. I was grateful the sun tucked behind a cloud for a few minutes so I could get this photo without any glare or strong shadows.
