Asset Overview

This orthomosaic and DEM was rendered from 200 DJI Mavic Pro drone photos using Agisoft Metashape Pro. Zoom into the model to see enigmatic geoglyph "rock art" in the center. This lonely place is situated near the southern dry shore of [Summer Lake](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Lake_(Oregon)), a natural alkali playa in Central Oregon, and an easy hike from state highway 31. My granddaughter speculates it might be the landing site for visiting extraterrestrials, or the creative artistry of Summer Lake Hot Springs soakers on their way to Burning Man. The serene natural beauty of the Great Basin Desert is best appreciated by a visit, and a soak, at the [Summer Lake Hot Springs](https://summerlakehotsprings.com).
