Scenery at Painted Hills Unit, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon, USA

Beautiful and colorful landscape of the Painted Hills in Eastern Oregon, near John Day.

The Painted Hills are one of the three units that comprise the John Day Fossil Beds. Take time to also visit the Clarno Unit, with Mars-like pillars formed by waterfalls and volcanic sludge, and the Sheep Rock Unit, where fossils of plants and animals like saber-toothed cats are on display at the Thomas Condon Paleontology Center. The hills get their name from the delicately colored stratifications in the soil and the yellows, golds, blacks and reds of the Painted Hills are best seen in the late afternoon. Tones and hue may appear to change from one visit to another, as the claystone differ with ever-changing light and moisture levels. Once you see them for yourself, it’s pretty easy to understand why the Painted Hills are one of the 7 Wonders of Oregon.

In Cordoba's outer areas, a field of Helianthus annuus, or sunflowers, stands resilient against the arid Spanish climate. These sunflowers, known for their commercial significance in oil production, create a vivid spectacle with their bright yellow petals contrasting the dry, sun-soaked soil. Their cultivation underscores the region's agricultural resilience in adverse conditions.
