This print, framed in a natural barn wood frame with traces of the original vintage red paint sealed with 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 sometimes confused with City of Rocks National Reserve on the Southern border of Idaho, but the locations and rock formations are quite different. In many areas the rock columns stand in rows, looking like tall city buildings. Those seen in this image form rows on the hilltop, looking almost as though they were pieces on a chess board. I hiked up the hill to touch one of the columns, and it is much steeper and more massive than it appears from a distance. In the early spring as the snow melts, there is quite a lot of water flowing down the creek bed running near the flowers in this image, but by May it is usually dry. However, the moisture gave rise to thousands of Arrow leaf Balsamroot flowers, sometimes lining the creek bed in enormous groups. The flowers made this visit a very pleasant one, since the previous time I had come out to hike, everything was long since dead and dried up in the summer heat. It is a very pleasant place to visit in early spring, and I loved being able to finally capture the fantastic rock columns in that spot along the trail.
