New Mexico

connecting with New Mexico...
I spent a couple of hours near these formations in the Bisti Badlands, waiting for the perfect light for the picture and carefully climbing around the formations. While blue hour often brings a marvelous glow to the terrain in places like this, ironically the best picture from that evening was taken long before sunset, right from the trail below.
When you think you need to be a good friend and take at least one picture of your buddy during your trip together, but the best you can manage as a portrait photographer is something like this. Well, the portrait didn’t turn out so bad, as long as he can find himself in the picture. Not even sure why he still talks to me...
Otherworldly landscapes of New Mexico badlands
Even after learning how hoodoos and similar formations are shaped by nature and time, these “Cracked Eggs” still look too unreal to be natural—as if they belong to another level of wonders.
Do you know the best part of an approaching storm in the badlands? Definitely not the chance for incredible light for landscape photography. It’s the fact that sometimes these storms actually bring falling water—which immediately turns the clay-like soil into a slippery mess. After only two previous experiences skating in my life, this was my third. A two-mile hike on a skating rink back to the parking lot.
When you come here for a sunrise and have no doubt why this massive rock is sacred to the Navajos.
An iconic place that has been gaining more and more popularity in recent days.
