No, you’re not seeing images from my recent voyage to Mars (There is a Mars Research Station nearby).
These are the mostly abstract scenes around Factory Butte which is a ubiquitous landform in the area.

It’s hard to fathom how this landscape in Southern Utah looks like it does but you have to get in the air to experience it yourself. This video saves you the trouble of getting airborne.

It’s in Southern Utah and only appreciated from above. It was 107 degrees when I filmed this and there was no shade as nothing grows in this area.

This wildflower is known for its blue color but I like the leaves of the plant. They show an abstract form that changes shape and color throughout the summer. The word lupine means flower as a noun and “like a wolf” as an adjective.
Coyote Buttes, on the Arizona/Utah border, is a landscape that defies description. Freud would have trouble developing a diagnosis for this patient.
One look at it will put a smile on your face along with a frown. It’s situated at The Vermillion Cliffs National Monument and is well protected. At North Coyote Buttes, a trip to The Wave is only accessible for 20 daily fortunates who were victorious in the dreaded lottery put on by The Bureau of Land Management.
It’s a riot of abstractness, details, hues, textures, patterns and dizzying sandstone shapes. The Navajo Sandstone calcified dunes evolved into its current look due to erosion from winds and rains.
This is a repost from 2014..
At South Coyote Buttes, the unusual is the usual at this landscape. Grotesque shapes of rock cast by millions of years of weathering have produced a carnival of oddities that Barnum & Bailey would be proud of. I half expected a woman with a beard to come walking around the corner.
It seems as if someone put one of those curvy carnival mirrors out there to give Coyote Buttes it’s distorted look. But it is real. I think.
It’s highly believable that it took millions of years for the gods to create Coyote Buttes.
You just don’t put this together in a week.

Shot from above, this landscape provides a series of images that defy description. From ground level, these badlands look rather pedestrian. Enjoy. These images can be purchased as prints or wall art at. Dawn2Dawn Photography

Here’s some ground level images I captured with a regular camera at Bentonite Hills,Utah. These give you an idea of the starkness of this place. Looks of texture here.
