The Bisti Badlands has some of the most fascinating and photogenic collections
of carved stone I have ever seen. It is a natural wonderland to wander in,
encountering things that seem to be from another world.
I chose to travel there in May of 2012, with the intention of photographing
a total solar eclipse. I took this photograph just after the eclipse ended
and the last light of the day painted this amazing scene. This stone stood
on its pedestal over 10 feet high.
