I especially like the perspective .... nearly eye-to-eye with the mountains on the other side of the valley down below. Behind me, Mt. Harris is more than 5000 feet in elevation. ( A bird seems to be enjoying the view, as well.)

Above the valley
It's Creative Exchange time again on Lisa Gordon's beautiful blog. Every so often, I ask my husband to take me on a drive so I can find photo subjects. Spring is late again this year, so there's not much color. However, we drove a road that took us high above the huge Grande Ronde Valley and I found this colorful scene. It's a planted field with the massive sprinkler system set up for use when the weather starts to dry up.

lovely colors! i like the little bird perched on the middle wheel...
Love the mountains, they are so big. I think we have one "real" mountain in this country and even that is little one compare to that.
At first I thought these were old-fashioned bicycle wheels! When I saw the scale of the background, I figured out what they were. I just love this shot, especially the mountains. Great colors and nice composition. Denise B.
It's a wonderfully spacious view. I love the mountains in the background. I've been thinking of coming out to Portland to look for a sublet and see if I'd like to live in the area. The PNW has a beauty all its own.
Evelyn - This is MAGNIFICENT!!!!
The way you composed this is just amazing. Cannot find enough good words for this one!
Kudos also to hubby for taking you on these excursions!! :-)
Thank you so much for sharing this today at The Creative Exchange, and I wish you a wonderful evening!

That bird knows a spectacular view when he sees it! Lovely photo!
wow this is TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!
This is a wonderful shot -- I love the lines and contrast with the mountains. Isn't it fun to go on photo outings? My husband takes me to the vineyards, where he tastes wine and I take photos.:)
WOW!!! This is an awesome shot with the circular sprinklers in the foreground and the magnificent mountain range in the background. Such a fabulous capture. I love everything about this shot. Impressive photography.
That sure is fancy irrigation system!
There is something truly magical about this photo.
When I saw this on Flickr I was floored. Very well executed with pleasing colors and graphic lines. Love everything about this!
What serenity n tranquility! Lovely pix and love the location of the shot.
CHECK OUT THOSE MOUNTAINS! AWESOME, just awesome... sorry to be yelling, but I get excited when I see mountains!!! Beautiful shot & that birdie ain't no dumb dumb... he/she knows what's beautiful! =) LoL!
Beautiful colors and what a view! Lovely place to take a drive.
The repetition (and juxtaposition) of the wheels against those majestic mountains is fantastic! The green foreground sets it all off perfectly.
