At the Foot of Giants

Here is another photo from my photography class outing to a red rock landscape about two hours from home. This isolated little cabin was such a curiosity. It's hard to imagine anyone making a home in this desert environment and so far away from "civilization".

[Alice Burghart]

NIce scene. Must have been fun.

[KWind]

Great composition and focus!

[Chandru Jain]

A lovely warm landscape!

[Meg]

cool mountains...love the ruggedness. I agree with you....why would someone make a home there?? maybe it's a supply house or something. Love the colors here too.

[Yvonne]

What a fabulous capture, Lisa. Love those mountains. (I always wanted to live in pioneer days, but I know I couldn't do it ; )

[Joe III]

Talk about a picture telling a story, this one says it all. Great colors and composition. Gives a feeling of isolation.

[Ellen Young]

Now this is my kind of place!! I could stay there forever ..as long as i had a endless supply of insulin and sugar!! :)

[Karen Matthews]

Love your caption, describes the picture perfectly! Where in Idaho is this?

[Gena Pegg]

Wonderful Red Rock landscape! Great cabin...nicely composed.

[Molly]

What a beautiful place. You seem to have such varied landscapes not too far from your home. Wonderful capture.

[ZambianLass]

Wow what an interesting landscape. I love that little cabin. Great colours.

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Smashing shot! I love the retro 1960s Kodak / Agfa film colour swatch.

[Jan K]

Wonderful capture - very odd place for a cabin - it would be a lonesome place to live - not to mention the loose rock.
One of the formations looks as if it has a face - anyone else see that?

[Tamzin]

I love the colours in this. The cabin looks dwarfed by the rocks - as you say,it's hard to imagine anyone living there, particularly if it's so far from towns.

[Rachel Withey]

Wow. Great composition and I love the sense of scale

[Yao RL]

beautiful colore, I don't mind to stay in this cabin for a day or two.

[lunaksi]

Amazing setting for a cottage, and a wonderful capture of it. Fab composition really shows the isolation of this place... great work!

[Janette]

Great composition and colour. You can feel the isolation.

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Honestly, I ask myself why anyone would *not* want to make a home somewhere like that.

[Laerke Thorndal]

I love it!! Instant fav :)

[Rachel]

Does someone actually still live there? Great shot, love the colours and composition as well as various textures. Really like it

[Catherine Pace]

it's true - if i woke up in the morning. stepped outside and saw no-one, no Sea!, no shops i would screeeeeeeaaaaaaamm!! Beautiful composition and dry colours !

[Jo]

It all looks so vast and rugged, great shot.

[Paula W]

Guess some people just crave isolation! What a dramatic landscape this is.

[Andrew S]

I love the colors in the rocks, you have such a variety of landscapes where you live.

[Anne]

What an amazing place - super shot

[Kate Goring]

Wow, what an incredible place. Fabulous shot Lisa, the composition is wonderful.

[Lisa Stein]

@karenmatthews Thank you, Karen. This is Leslie Gulch which is actually located in SE Oregon. It is approx 90 mile from Boise.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Wonderful colours and textures - spectacular capture.

[Paul King]

Wow amazing sense of the monumental in this superb composition and the cabin gives a real sense of scale : brilliant Lisa

[Taffy]

I love two things about this. First, the way you capture the isolation of the house. Second, the sheer size/ scope /majestic feeling of the rock landscape.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Such a great landscape. I wonder if they have internet? ;)

[Linda]

I love that cabin amongst those giants. A very interesting shot.

[Sue Rose]

Fabulous shot and it has a real feel of the old wild west about it. The sky is an amazing colour.

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful capture. The cabin really shows the size of the giant rocks.

[Ross Walker]

Interesting that you found a cabin there. I have been to Leslie Gulch and don't recall much civilization. http://www.hisandhersphoto.com/Oregon/hhorse_008.htm Gorgeous setting, and I would enjoy staying there.

[elkehochban]

Love the contrast between the man-made and the natural - well done!

[Amanda Carr]

Wow - I'd love to stay there. Gorgeous setting, composition and vivid colour of the blue sky against the rock. FAV for me!

[Lisa Stein]

@rvwalker Love seeing your Leslie Gulch shot! I have one of the same rock formation. I think that is near the picnic/camping area if I remember correctly. The cabin seemed quite established to me. There is a little outhouse out to the right which you can see it if you view large. It is very beautiful and I think I could enjoy staying there, but not for any extended period of time. Too lonely for me!

[Al Bailey]

Gorgeous capture :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

The deep colours are gorgeous. Great comp xx

[Lee]

Great shot. I could do with spending a few weeks there away from it all with just my camera!

[Edie]

Fav. This is gorgeous! I want to be there.

[Cindy Muir]

Fabulous shot! I love solitude, so I could imagine living somewhere like this....but I'd want some basic creature comforts - running water, electricity, internet :)

[Jawo]

This is beautiful Lisa. I always like this kind of amosphere and scene. Looks empty but there is a magical beauty in there. Love the tones of the rocks and the blue sky. Fab for me!

[Jawo]

Haha! Fabulous fav!

[Caz]

Wonderful scene, love the colors and composition

[Tracy]

Just gorgeous! Love the rich colour and landscape :)) It does make you wonder who lives there and what their life is like.

[Cindy]

Another fav Lisa! I love the scale you show with the cabin against the rocks. The contrasting colors between the rocks and the blue sky is gorgeous.

[Simply Amanda]

Awesome. So small with so large. Great contrasts and shot!

[Sassik]

Fabulous scene! The little house there makes this for me.

[Tabbycat]

This is gorgeous!! Makes me think of Grizzly Adams :-)

[Arefin]

really like this! great toning and perfect composition! fab for me!

[Amy]

love your composition

[Sjouk]

wow, so so beautiful...gorgeous colors and great feel of 'tinyness' and humbleness...but a big FAV

[Elaine]

Wow what a place to go for a photography class. Fabulous composition and shot Lisa!

[Cathrine Mitchell]

Beautiful capture. I love this settlement being set in front of the mountain it makes it seem so small in contrast. I love the deep blue sky. FAV

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Extraordinary color! Great shot- I would imagine someone thought there might be gold in them thar hills!

[Jerri]

a recluse's dream home give-a-way! the desert feel is definitely captured here lisa. nice tones!

[Mac]

Excellent composition.
