A charming pair of hoodoos near Escalante, UT for #twosday. Self-critique in ALT.

#blackandwhite #classicmono #eck #hoodoos #erosion #geology #escalante #utah #hiking #wilderness #rockformation

A pair of light-colored stone columns, each topped by a darker-hued mass of more resistant sandstone. The formations rest on a sloping plain of white rock, with more capstone material forming a ridge at right. The photographer (me!) should have gotten lower to better separate the hoodoos from the background structures. Sony RX100, f/5.6, 10mm

Fossilized tree stump at Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah - one of several such documented by paleontologist Charles Sternberg during his exploration of the area in 1921. Being here is like walking through an open-air natural history museum.

A large fossilized tree stump protrudes from a shale and mudstone hillside in a badlands terrain. Above and behind we can see hoodoos and a blue sky with puffy white clouds.

A dune field with spotty gramma grass clusters fills the foreground, while mounds of shale and mudstone populate the middle ground. In the distance we glimpse a torturous terrain of hoodoos, with blond cliffs and ominous dark skies beyond.

Here we see a closer view of the torturous terrain in the prior image, which ends up being a cluster of hoodoos with mounds of shale and clay interspersed. The image is high contrast and heavily shadowed.

A clearly stratified badlands hillside towers over a complex landscape of hoodoos, sandstone boulders, gray shale hillocks and eroded arroyos with sparse drylands plants. The sky is vivid blue with a prominent puffy white cloud. Canon 5Dll, f/5.6, 38mm

Lybrook may be the most diverse of NW New Mexico badlands. Twisted junipers and lush scrub pines add visual appeal to the hoodoos and formations.

#classicmono #eck #blackandwhite #badlands #newmexico #juniper #hoodoos #highcontrast #wilderness #hiking #notrail #geology #erosion #rockformations

A twisted juniper rises into a black sky from a hillside in front of a field of hoodoos, with higher eroded cliffs in the background. A wisp of cloud gives added interest to the scene.

@johnme23.bsky.social Sep 30, 2026, 6:12 PM

I've seen this intimately-associated hoodoo pair referred to as "kissing dragons" - and I can kind of see it, though "nose-booping dragons" is more on the mark. I'm more intrigued by the shape of the space between them. (?)

#windowsonwednesday #eck #hoodoos #lybrook #badlands #newmexico #wilderness

A pair of stout, bulky hoodoos dominates the image, with the sky above (and between) lacking any clouds. Is that Scandinavia I see in the gap? Or maybe an elongated version of the Indian subcontinent? Canon 5Dll, f/5.6, 45mm

Central in the image is a long-stem goblet-shaped hoodoo, with a blockier, more jagged hoodoo on the right. A juniper bush takes up the left side of the photo. The sky above is devoid of clouds and appears darker at right than at left.

A blocky hoodoo rests atop a clay hillock in the center of the image. In the foreground, a tongue of loosely-consolidated material forms a mound with a bare, rounded top. Other hoodoos and cliff faces are visible in the background. The sky is dark and featureless. Canon 5Dll, f/11, 35mm

#rockintuesday #eastcoastkin #badlands #newmexico #hiking #wilderness #notrail #rockformation #hoodoos

A pair of oddly shaped caprock formations stand side by side on a base of crumbling clay or mudstone. Their sides are weathered, the one on the left showing more vertical striations while the disk-shaped one at right us more uniformly eroded. The sky is dark gray and featureless. Long, slanting shadows indicate a low-angled sun. Canon 5Dll, f/11, 33mm
