A two-lane asphalt road with double yellow center lines curves gently to the left and disappears over a ridge on Oregon State Highway 218 in Wheeler County, between the towns of Antelope and Fossil. Dry golden bunchgrass and scrubby high desert vegetation flank both sides of the road. A small cluster of juniper trees stands at the curve. Beyond the ridge, a vast panorama of rolling tan hills and eroded canyon country stretches to a distant mountain range under a dramatic, heavily overcast sky filled with layered blue-grey storm clouds. The overall palette is stark — dark asphalt, golden grassland, and brooding sky.
