Coolest Rocks and Dirt You'll Ever See
Now who doesn't love staring at a bunch of rocks? In this case, the mesas found in New Mexico.
About a 4-hour drive west of Albuquerque is a small town called Gallup, home to many classic Western films and the famous El Rancho Hotel. But what I found fascinating was on the outskirts of town.
Everywhere there were these huge rock formations, many with a bright orange color. But seeing them in black and white, you can really focus on all the shadows and striations in the layers of dirt.
And everyone knows the one thing more interesting to look at than rocks is...dirt.
It almost looks like it's driftwood in this picture. Random guy for scale. He was kind of tall.
This definitely looks like a place for an ambush. Maybe we won't go there.

I kept hearing that western movie whistley horn sound.....like they play just before a gunfight when sweaty guys with guns are staring at each other. What the hell instrument is that? I kept hearing that in this post.
Super cool pics. That second one is excellent.
Isn't it just a guy whistling followed by a hawk screeching or something?
Wonderful Photos! I only wish I was this good or had the chance to frame it. Very Nice. I'd hang it on my wall!
Wow thanks! I think smartphones can make some pretty good pictures nowadays, but a lot of it has to do with the composition of it. Try to take lots of pictures of things from different angles and see what works best. :)
i love NM scenery, the red and orange burnt umber in striated layers. i'd love to see these in color.
I have a much better series of colored photos from there on another drive. These actually are much prettier in black and white, IMO. But now I have another post idea! ;)
yeshhhh!!! im a color fiend myself. color on everything!!!
Yes ma'am, duly noted. :)

Soooooo pretty! I love black and white so much!
It's interesting because if we only saw black and white, that would be considered a fault in our eyesight. But it certainly draws attention to things that may get lost in color.
I don't like staring at a bunch of rocks; but I remember I used to kick small rocks and dirt on my way home from school and mum would scream at my dirty roughened shoes.
The last picture looks like a place in "The Ridiculous 6" The place of the singing mill
Nice pics by the way (taken by your smartphone at the time, an HTC somethingorother)
Lol
LOL couldn't remember what phone I had. So rocks and dirt do offer other ways of entertainment beyond ambushes and just sitting there looking cool: dirty shoes!
Lol
These kinds of formations remind me that there are things around that are a bit more impressive than some of man's achievements. Not meaning to drag politics in, but I'd much rather look at these than a wall.
God gives us endless wonders to marvel at, doesn't he?
The first pic reminded me of something you'd see on Mars or the moon. Very interesting photos!
That's true, it's very crater-like!
