The Butt -e

Before Jim texts me to post ...

Spent 3 nights 2 days in Hanksville. Shooting was limited to early morning or late night, as daytime temps were hovering around 100 and it was windy. In those 3 days, I saw 1 other person in the area.

Wow very different view of the Butte, great image. Did you get any skyline images?

Nicely done!

How long ago was this Sunny? Just a few days ago?
I have expected an onslaught of ATV's out in Factory Butte ruining the landscape since the last BLM decision.

Hey Sunny,

That has more alluvial fan than any other photo I've seen. What an incredible amount of detail.

HI Craig,
This was on Thursday. I feared the ATVs too...but there was no one there. i saw 1 group of kids/men in Hanksville on motocross bikes but i think they weren't near the factory butte area. There are a lot of tracks that i saw on the south side where the actual area for the ATVs is, but never saw a person doing anything in the new opened area.

Hi Tim,
It was incredible, i'll post some panoramas..i did 2-3 flights each on the south, north and west side (where i crashed/lost the drone and hiked for 3 hours to find it).

That's a really unique (to me at least) view of that butte - I love how deep the gullies leading up to the butte appear with this perspective.

Can't wait for more

Beautiful job, Sunny. Excellent photography here.

Ha ha.... now what fun is it if I can't text you non stop until you post a photo?

This is super cool. While the 45 degree angle on Factory Butte is the norm, I have always liked this head on angle where the butte changes to a point. That elevation definitely gives some nice edges to those diamond ridges on the ground.

This is great -- the alluvial fan looks like a cape or the old fashioned dresses with trains....

 

[Doug P]

Loving this! Makes me want a drone for sure. Well done...

SO nice. Well thought out and executed. Great time of day. Did you find the red layered bentonite swirls nearby?
