I think it will be awhile before it gets over-run! It's beyond most folks' capabilities to get there. And there's still no signs where to turn until you get into the hills. I'll look forward to seeing your images. And, since you've been there, do you think I've oversaturated the pictures?


do you think I've oversaturated the pictures? not at all

White Pocket is a VERY remote place. You sort of have to know how to get there, but they have put up some signs. In order to get there, one must drive that loneliest stretches of road - the 89A to a house and turn north; then drive to an old corral and turn east. After awhile there begins to be signs when the road forks. The road is deep sand the further in one goes, requiring both 4WD and high clearance. The flat is a big area and one can camp anywhere. But then, one must hike through deep sand a long ways, then maneuver the most uneven hard rock, up and down, and around. But once there, one doesn't want to leave. Anywhere one points the camera, there's a photo in the making.

A pocket is a natural indentation in the earth that collects water. The crust of this one is very white "brain" rocks (so-called because they look like brains). Underneath the crust is rich, rust-coloured swirls, lines, and indentations that create the most amazing patterns. Light and shadow and only part of the equation.

Absolutely stunning landscape photos, Kathy! Were you still in Az? I'll bet these would also be beautiful in B&W, Ansel Adams style. Just something to think about for next time. I know you can covert them, but I like to photograph B&W in camera, in situ. Anyway, very nicely done.

Thanks. I've been looking at possibilities of getting there for a long time. When this tour came up, I bit the bullet. It was expensive, but I certainly don't regret it.

It’s only expensive until the Jeep gets stuck and there’s no cell service; then you’re glad someone at the tour service knows you’re late and where you went. Great choices… both the tour and your image selections.👍👍👍

Impressive, very impresive!

From the effort to get there, to making the shots, to processing, and posting. Difficult job, well done.
