Photo By Beth Young
Today’s Photo of the Day is “Painted Hills Rainbow and Afternoon Light” by Beth Young. Location: John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon.
“Located in the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, and formed by ash from volcanic eruptions in the Cascade Mountains, the Painted Hills are an otherworldly display of kaleidoscopic colors that tell an ancient story of cyclical climatic conditions,” explains Young. “Depending on weather and moisture, you can witness a large variety of light and colors here. Clearing clouds provided an ever-changing display of dappled light on the landscape, and for a brief moment, a vibrant rainbow before the sun behind me dipped behind the clouds again.”
