Taken 4 miles outside downtown Boise. These basalt cliffs face west across the Boise River and the Oregon Trail. These are very popular with area climber. Last Saturday was a gorgeous day and all I had to do was wait. . . .

Great pic. The vertical striations lead towards the top of the frame. The climber seems almost an aterthought and gives dimension to the image. Have you thought of a really tall version, like a panorama only vertical?
These are wonderful rock-formations. Where? Wherever they are they are quite
something. I like the fact that you let some sky in, I suppose you could have lowered the shot and it would have been all grey, but you didn't. Wo is the brave
climber?
Not technically parallel, but still rates high in my book!
I would have cropped a bit off the sky, it's too much blue and detracts from the climbers red shirt which is what really makes this photo a success!
love this...i am finding the entries like yours with parallel in nature to be the most compelling, interesting and worthy. i love the way your parallel lines deconstruct at the top and i like your climber in red...adds a needed sense of scale (and a nice spark of color).
Very nice indeed. If it werent for the person climbing, I would think this would be a macro, gives it perspective. Nice shade of blue and the shaddows on the rocks are great. Good job.
