Engage warp 7! Over an extended weekend we did a 2000 miles roadtrip from California to Nevada to Utah and back: destination badlands near Hanksville. We went to the Cathedral Gorge State Park located in Nevada near the Utah border. The park’s beauty formed from volcanic activity that deposited layers of ash hundreds of feet thick. Erosion has carved dramatic and unique patterns in the soft bentonite clay, here a tall chimney that is over 100 feet hight. I processed a paintery, a balanced, and a photographic HDR photo from four RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the curves and color balance. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments. <i>Thank you for visiting - ♡ with gratitude!
