Alien Throne in the New Mexico Badlands taken last year. One heck of a hike but so worth the end result.

Lonely is the seat of power

A wildly sculpted hoodoo rises against a blue, cloud-streaked sky in a desert environment. Its caprock is concave, as if to support a seated individual. Around and behind it in the middle distance are a variety of other extravagantly sculpted rock formations. It is a weird looking place.

Between two towers: Valley of Dreams, NW New Mexico. I never processed this raw file from 2020 because other, more traditional compositions grabbed my attention.

A huge jointed hoodoo fills most of the frame, the side facing us in shadow. Just to the right we see the distinctive shape of the "alien throne" hoodoo. Between these two rock formations, farther away, we can see another hoodoo shaped something like the god Mercury. The sky is featureless and without clouds.

It’s not easy to find, but if you do, it’s worth the effort. The alien throne, rock formation is worthy of your time and effort.

Stayed out past sunset to photograph the Alien Throne—and it felt like another planet. The sky lit up behind this wild formation, casting an eerie glow on the hoodoos. Quiet, surreal, and totally worth the hike back in the dark.
