Lava Rock Red

  Yes, it's a beautiful color. They put this "cinder" rock on the roads in winter so you see it everywhere.

I really like the contrasting colors and the mountains in the distance with all the trees inbetween.

  Thanks! Some of those hills are cinder cones. There are hundreds in that area.
