Diablo Mountains, Eastern Rim

Sunrise, from the summit of Diablo Mountain, the high point in this

little-known fault-block range of Oregon's high desert country.

nice shot well done

Stunning composition, but a little too saturated for my tastes. Cheers.

Ernest/Bernie - thanks for the visit and comments. Bernie: I hear you about the saturation, but this is pretty true to my memory of the experience. Not for everyone, I guess.

No worries. It looks like a stunning location! This is exactly the kind of landscape I would like to get out into and do some photography. We have similar landscapes to this in Australia, but nothing anywhere near where I live, and in fact, most of them are in the middle of nowhere. Something I envy about the States is that you have so much amazing scenery so close to civilization.

Such delightful colours. This landscape has that feel of wanting to take the viewer where it belongs. When a composition does that you know it is splendid.

Gorgeous light on the foreground rocks. I really like how the mountain range curves off to the left.

Thanks for the kind words. This little range was one of my "secret" spots when I lived in Oregon. Not totally unknown, really, but in the middle of nowhere, as you can see. I used to go out there every spring, though usually before the wildflowers came out. The only other people I know who ever went there, went with me.
