Or as I affectionately call them: The BadAss Lands! I loved this place! It was so unreal and like another planet. No seriously, as we were driving it's normal desert landscape then you turn down the road into the Bisti Wilderness and it's like you've just crossed a vortex onto the moon. It's so crazy cool!
And boy was our one night crazy. Check out the crazy winds we had to endure all evening (starting about 5:30 pm) into the morning. But the weather, although crazy produced some of my favorite images from the trip:
Part of me wished we had more than just an evening there, but then we woke up 7:30 am to blistering heat and we were thankful to leave that part behind. I'm super stoked about my film shots from this place, but alas I won't know how they look until next week.
A few more Bisti pictures tomorrow and then were moving on through to Canyon de Chelley. Hope you guys are still enjoying this!

You are right about the look of another planet. But a very cool place. can't wait to see more. ;)

Sounds like one wild night!
Great catches!
Especially like the cloud formations. B&W Dramatic Skies is my No. 1 pick.
Be sure to post the film shots.

Wonderful scenery. I'm glad you included some people for size comparison on the first one.
That do look like some strong wind, enough for this poor duck to take cover.

If you tell anybody I said this Leslie I'll deny it, but I really liked the black and white the most out of this set. It truly emphasized the dramatic sky.

BadAss Lands for sure!! ... I really like the B&W image!! ... I tend to like a little oversaturation in my images and in this one I would like to see just a little stronger contrast ... But a beautiful image non the less ... What a trip this must have been - even though you didn't make it to Las Vegas!! ... Keep-em Coming!!
