Climbing the Columns

This popular basalt wall of rock is located on the edge of downtown Eugene. It may be small but it has a great concentration of cracks and is a popular spot for rock climbing practice. Yesterday I shot a Belladonna Lily. Today was Belladonna of a different kind. Belladonna means beautiful woman in Italian. I watched two beautiful young ladies do the climb. Even took some photof for them when one of them asked me to take some pictures with her iPhone.

Nicely composed, Vern. The basalt is very like our Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.

Nice POV and the colors on the girl and the girl herself make a fine counterpoint for the lines and harsh surface of the basalt columns. Very nice, Vern. Vote.

Rock climbing has swept the Western States like a cyclone wind. Every where you hike now days there are rock climbers.

Nicely shot, Vern. I like the bright pink top against the dark rock. And that blue sky is marvelous too.
