The Bad Lands are quickly becoming one of my favorite Central Oregon sites for portraits. The backdrop of ancient juniper, sage, and lava rock portrays a dramatic element of this area. It can easily be imagined populations living here well before anything modern. Flatiron and Castle Rocks seem like condos for the once itinerate bands of Paiutes (and earlier) moving across the Great Basin.
The area has recently been protected from motorized vehicles. One can walk or bike a number of miles on one of the few trails, and many more cross country. Though I post this online, I do hope the area remains a quiet, unmolested spot for pedestrians and photographers alike.
In the shot is Tyler Andyke. From his senior portrait session.
