Badlands Tracings

From the badlands a even more abstract and basic image. Even though the image is more abstract I think in still tells the badland story of time and change as the elements go about the serious work of leveling the mountains. Again lines and color are what drew me to this image. I appreciate all the comments on my postings and invite you to again comment. Thanks Chet

I love abstracts like this Chet. The mix of blues and earth tones work well but the vein like lines even more so. Great eye to find this.

Nice abstract. It has a 'puffy' feel to it that belies the harsher reality of this environment. Beautiful color combination, as well.

This is an excellent abstract. The composition works very well and I love that color. This can easily be an aerial shot, so the scale is difficult, or perhaps impossible to figure out - and this is what makes this look so interesting.

Didl said what I was going to say, this looks like it could be an aerial shot. Very interesting Chet.

Beautiful abstract Chet. Wonderful details, texture, and colors. I might crop about 5-8% off the top but that's just personal taste.

I love abstracts and this is no exception. Love the colors and the lines which looks like veins.

Chet,

This is fascinating and fabulous. +2 to what Dietrich said - definitely an aerial look to it. I'd love to see more of the rusty red at the bottom, but this is just a wonderful abstract as presented. Excellent!
