This print, framed in a natural barn wood frame with only a protective finish created by the photographer, is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. An additional image shows the framed print hung on a wall with other furniture, to give a sense of size and scale of the finished artwork. Available also as a print only without frame, in three optional sizes and materials.
Little City of Rocks, about 10 miles north of Gooding, is often confused with City of Rocks National Reserve on the Southern border of Idaho, but the rock formations are quite different and have beauty of their own. In many areas the rock columns stand in rows, looking like tall city buildings. In the early spring as the snow melts, there is quite a lot of water flowing down the creek bed shown in this image, but by May it is completely dry. By July the area is a hot and dry desert with few plants surviving the heat. I first visited in late July and went early in the morning to avoid the heat of the day. This image was taken around 8:30am, and it was still just cool enough to enjoy the hike. The creek bed, even though it was completely dry, fascinated me because it still appears as though there is water there. The stone is smoothed and bears signs of water erosion, and pebbles and sticks lay resting as if they were floating on the surface. The rock columns above seem to stand guard over the creek, and make a person feel protected and sheltered. I took over a hundred images in this area, and this remains one of my favorites, as it includes so many elements that fascinated me along the hike that morning.
