Cheltenham Badlands

Beautiful! ciao Elena

Surprisingly, these "badlands" are located in a lush area of mixed

woodland in central Ontario. Land clearing left the soft Queenston

shale exposed to erosion. The presence of iron oxides in the soil

creates the red colour and the banding. All comments welcome.

very nice texture and tones to this photo. i hope to discover this area sometime this summer. thanks for sharing.

Nice composition study and the location is indeed unexpected. You chose the right moment for the light to capture the texture in the land.

 

Thanks to Elena, Mark and August for taking the time to comment. This is indeed a unique spot. Cheers, Nancy

Terrific photograph! I really love the composition; with the layers, repetition, and the diagonal of the white clay layer rolling through the frame. Well seen and captured! By the way, have you seen Ian Cox-Leigh's work at Cheltenham? Cheers! Chris
