This image was taken on a hiking trip in February of 2010, in the Painted Hills Unit of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. I had just gotten a new camera so on my way back from Central Oregon I stopped to hike some of the trails and take some pictures. It was a nice and clear sunny day, and not too cold - perfect for hiking that area. I took this at the first parking area and trail.

The gray layers are mudstone, siltstone, and shale formed from sediments deposited on an ancient river floodplain. The black layers are manganese nodules or manganese stains. The red layers are ancient soil profiles (laterites) that formed on floodplain deposits. Surface weathering relatively quickly breaks down these rocks into a clay-rich surface coating that easily erodes during summer flashfloods and/or winter storms.

Took this photo on a recent trip to Guilin, China. I love how the stillness of the water reflects the mountains. I took this handheld while on a bamboo raft.

This is an old design that I recently decided to revamp. It took around 2-3 weeks to finally complete.

This castle was build in the late 1800s and was abandoned in 1991. Since then it has been rotting away.
