Mars

[Sunny Sra]

I missed the FW gang by a week...hopefully next time I'll get the timing right. In the meantime...MARS

Took a 4 day trip to utah couple of weeks ago. Kept up on the Flaming Doritos and Redbull diet...Went from LA to Bryce..shoot sunset/milkyway timelapse..napped...shot sunrise...drove thru snow storm on Hwy 12, rain, got to Capitol Reef, chased clouds..drove to hanksville... shot sunset...shot milkway timelapse..napped couple of hours...shot sunrise...drove to Temple of sun and moon...too windy and cloudy to do anything...drove back to hanksville, sunset...milkyway...nap 2-3 hours...sunrise...drove on random roads...sunset...milkyway...drove to mars...

That’s some color show. Where is this - on earth I mean?

I see three identical images.

 

[AlanLichty]

With a diet like you were adhering to I'm surprised you didn't just fly to Mars instead

Is there supposed to be a difference in these 3 images? Amazing scene but they look identical to my feeble eyes.

 

[JimFox]

I corrected the 3 photos, Sunny clearly still had sticky fingers from the flaming Doritos going on.

Super cool drone shot Sunny! That area has so many colorful areas for sure. I guess there is a reason they train for future Mars missions there.

Beautiful Sunny, is this a drone shot? Were you on cowdung road or that mystery place you found?

Hi Ben,
yes it is. If you look in the top right corner (better visibility on the larger photo on my website), you'll see the MARS project location...so this is just maybe 3/4 mile past it.

Hi Jameel,
This is near Hanksville.

Hahah Alan..yeah..well it was a self contained trip with minimal trips to stores ...non perishable items. Yeah i dunno how i ended up with 3 photos. I think Jim fixed it.

Jim,
Thank you! Yeah super cool area. I went at sunset too but didn't get the shot i wanted, so went back at sunrise to gather it.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Fantastic, I've gotta get down there next time in UT.

 

[Amy Nelson]

Sounds like a very busy trip, but you sure got an fabulous image here. Hopefully you got some rest when you got home.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

This looks like the Mancos Formation on saturation steroids, Sunny. Nice look and interesting image,

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Sunny!

Nice imaging Sunny. We both know that place pretty well now. I like the Henry Mtns in the BG. I think it is a bit saturated for me.

 

[Bart Carrig]

I recognize the Henry's, and I'm spotting that road, but I"ve never seen anything like it. Super scene.

Yes!! Thats how I felt! The whole time I was there.
