Roark Bluff along Buffalo River in northwest Arkansas. Bluff is approximately 1 mile long and about 150 feet high. Photo taken last Saturday on an exceptional 70 degree day in January. After the ice and snow yesterday and the below zero wind chill today, it would be near impossible to get to this site today!

The trees at the top look like they were painted on.

I too think the scale isn't really aparent here since there's no frame of reference.

To me, I think the scale suffers a bit with this comp, and I think a b/w version would be more dramatic. Great find. I look forward to more pics.

I wonder how it would look in a dramatic b/w.

There's a lack of scale in it, in my opinion. It's impossible to realize how bit it is or how much of the 1 mile we're seeing. Something in the foreground or close to the bluff to give a reference would make it much better. And the hills kind of dwarf it as well, I think.

But I like the colours of the bluff and the barren field. It leads the eye to the left from high right to lower left with a spendid range of change during the travel of the eye. And I like the way the sky sorts of reverse mirrors the bluff in size all the way.

I wonder if that field is loaded with wild flowers in the spring. If so, that bluff would make a great backdrop to them.
