Cheltenham Badlands, in Ontario, a 45 minute drive from where I live. Too bad about the drab, overcast skies today. If I went any other day this weekend, the contrast between the red soil and cloudless blue sky would have been amazing:

Nice shots, despite the sky. Never heard of this place before.

But, just remember that overcast is just one big 'softbox in the sky'!

I would have cropped out more of the sky in #1 and perhaps also in #4 -- what is orange object on the highway in #4?

Nice images, thanks for sharing.

The beginner clicks the shutter and says "Let's see what I got." ... The experienced photographer thinks "How can I capture what I see?"

You've never heard of this place... I've never heard of this place! And I live here! Gotta go look this up :)

Looks like sandbags to hold a temporary sign in place.

Thanks for the advice .... I'll try cropping the ugly sky out. Also, I didn't notice the orange thing, but it was likely an orange sand bag that was keeping a temporary no-parking sign in place, but it can easily be removed.

Thanks. The road was awesome--it was one seemingly unending undulating road.

Amazing colors!
