Hoodoos in the Bisti Badlands by Wayne Pinkston Via Flickr: This photo was taken in the Bisti Badlands of New Mexico, USA. This is an area of severely eroded rock formations creating a wonderland of small to medium sized Hoodoos and a number of small arches. Bisti is part of the Bisti/De-Na-Zen Wilderness, with Bisti being on the western side. The concentration of Hoodoos is some areas is amazing, with scores of small Hoodoos clustered together. Some Hoodoos are so small you have to avoid tripping on them, others up to 4-6 meters tall. After seeing other locations it's like "Honey, who shrank the Hoodoos"? The variety of shapes is very diverse, with Hoodoos looking like wings, birds, tables, golf balls, pillars, mushrooms, golf tees, dinosaur eggs, animals, etc. The moderate size makes the Hoodoos much more accessible, and actually easier to photograph. It's like nature went out of it's way to show us just how inventive it could be. These hoodoos are about 3-4 feet (1-1.3 m) tall. This is a single exposure. Oops! Just realized I uploaded the wrong file format, distorting the color.. This was corrected 10 pm EST July 9. Hope you enjoy! All comments are welcomed. Please join me at: Website Facebook Blog Twitter
