I’m somewhat obsessed with this location in Southeast Oregon. This is where hot springs bubble up to the playa surface of Oregon’s Alvord Desert in the shadow of Steens Mountain. The flat surface, high-speed winds, and scalding hot water creates these mesmerizing patterns as various minerals dissolve and get spread around. I love the rich natural colors and how the surface looks different every time I visit.
