From May 8-12 I traveled to and extensively scouted from Monument Valley to White Pocket, Arizona (USA).
Of the many places I captured from the blue hour before sunrise to the blue hour after sunset was an area known as White Pocket. From Hwy 98 west of Page from where you make the left turn to take the dirt road to White Pocket takes at least one hour and forty five minutes. From the midway point on, I counted about 8 significant sections of the one lane dirt road with deep sand. Since I had a Suburban with unique tires, it was not a problem but if one tries to go into this area with front wheel drive only I'd say you'd be making a huge mistake.
Of all the places I visited and scouted, White Pocket is the most bizarre but interesting place I have ever been. It is so interesting that I will return and camp out for about 2 full days of photography now that I know what areas are the best for sunrise and and sunset.
White Pocket is not cover in my new ebook "Moab, Utah - A Photographer's Shooting Guide I" but it will be in the second one I will be publishing later.
As a reminder, I now have a group for my late March 2015 multi-night Moab, Utah night sky/milky workshops in case you are interested in attending any one of those. See my Southwestern album for examples of what you may expect to shoot at that time.

Time to chill out to Mars Lasars's song ... Tahoe Spirit.
Thanks for stopping by.
I like the patterns. I always give mud a look in case there are tracks.

The U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron, known to all the world as the “Thunderbirds”, are the Air Force’s Ambassadors in Blue. They represent the 500,000 men and women of the United States Air Force. The Thunderbirds plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft. The Thunderbirds squadron is composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel.
The Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the two solo aircraft highlight some of the extreme capabilities of the F-16. In all, the pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a single demonstration. An aerial demonstration lasts 60 minutes with an additional 15 minutes for the ground show before takeoff.
During a typical season the Thunderbirds perform no more than 70 air demonstrations in 35 cities throughout the nation. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets.
Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Arizona. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet. The team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak in 1955. In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis AFB in Nevada and traded the veteran F-84 for the world’s first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre. In early 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but after only six shows returned to the F-100. In 1969 the team transitioned to the F-4E Phantom and then in 1974 to the T-38 Talon, a more fuel efficient jet. In 1983 the Thunderbirds began flying the
F-16 and continue to do so. - Was a huge thrill on a magnificent day!

The most amazing sight and sound of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight in Trenchard formation flying towards Weston Super Mare
Slightly too fast a shutter speed for best prop blur but I wanted the aircraft to be sharp, not easy on a very hot day with haze and atmospherics trying to mess everything up.
the Red Arrows along with 4 Typhoon aircraft from RAF Coningsby, flying in formation along the Thames to mark the 90th Anniversary of the Royal Air Force.
Chinle Formation. This shale of the Petrified Forest Member of the late Triassic Chinle Formation forms these barren valleys and flatlands across the Southwest. The unit is rich in bentonite, a clay derived from volcanic ash. Bentonite has the property of swelling when it gets wet. Under those conditions, the bentonite destroys the roots of plants, preventing the gradual development of soil. As a result, outcrops of the Chinle often form these barren landscapes devoid of plant life. Navajo Reservation. North of Cameron, Coconino Co., Arizona.
These huge formations are in The Hall of Giants located in The World Famous Big Room. Color photo by Ellis-Sawyer

Beautiful artistic creations of nature formed by alternating low tide and high tide. Seaweed on the rocky sea floor is being pushed up in frosty weather by the movements of the tides.

It's amazing how quickly and instinctively geese form their 'V' formation. This bunch was munching grass on the grounds of Gairloch Gardens in Oakville, Ontario. They were startled by a passerby, and flew a couple of hundred meters to another location. In that short flight, they ended up in a Vee.

Leaving Vancouver in formation, heading all the way back to Ottawa in 2 days.
This is part of a huge collection of pictures I took during a flying school trip From Ottawa, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia this past summer. A great learning opportunity for us new private pilots and instructors to fly to all these cool locations along the way and back. We took 3 Cessna 172s and one Beechcraft Duchess.
