A lone adobe home catches the afternoon sun as the snow-draped Sangre de Cristo mountains loom above the San Luis Valley, Colorado
While walking around and exploring the Bisti Badlands with a view looking to the east to some eroded formations present in this part of Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area. What I wanted to capture with this image was to align myself with the hoodoo formation to my front and bring out a pattern or grouping. The rest was finding a balance with the hoodoo formation and using the blue skies and clouds as a backdrop to highlight this formation.
A touch of warm light brightens the pleasing rounded, abstract forms in the Adobe badlands near Delta, Colorado.
Finding ourselves with a free morning in Montrose--unfortunately just before fall color erupted in the San Juans--Josh and Sky and I decided to check out the badlands so visible outside of town around Montrose and Delta. Some quick looking on google earth led us up a dirt road in the pre-dawn dark until we found something of a parking area. We took a trail down from the bluff and headed west over the the undulating landscape, wondering what the view would be once dawn approached and we could see beyond the range of our headlamps. Soon the brightening twilight revealed badland terrain more vast than we expected, and we scampered up to the highest nearby ridge to best take in the morning light and shadow that elevates the badlands so.
It was an impromptu outing, and our photographic efforts in that unfamiliar place were pretty random. But the winds were calm and, unusually for that hour, we were suddenly inspired to turn on some music while we welcomed the new day among those badland formations of not-quite-dirt and not-quite-stone. It turned out to be a great morning.
Thanks for viewing.
