[Followers may have noted that there is no day 6 sunset post. This is because it became very windy and dusty prior to time to go out for sunset photos that evening. So we elected to skip the planned shoot for that evening].
For sunrise photos on day 7 in Bisti, my son and I returned to the area just outside the Bisti north area.
I captured this early morning silhouette of a bird like hoodoo here.
I shot this particular rock formation mainly due to the rock shape at the upper left that has a satellite dish look.
The sunrise light was very good today, but the sky was boring.
A monochrome conversion of the previously posted image. Even though the sunrise light was good, I’m inclined to like the monochrome version better, maybe due to lack of interest in the background sky.
The hoodoo cap on the left has features that make it look almost alive and it looks like it is displeased with the jumble of rocks on the right.
The smug looking rock, that readers will have seen in an earlier post, seems to be staring at the contrails in the sky.
I think this would be a really interesting photo, if only the sky was not so boring. The light falls upon several features as if purposely spotlighted.
The black and white version looks even more dramatic; although, the image here looks muted. Click on the photo to view it on Flickr, where it will look much better.
That is it for this post,

Who knew that rocks could be so humorous!
Only special people can see the humor in rocks, Shutterpug.
Hahaha!!! And you are special!
Shutterpug, actually I was referring to you. There is a word, pareidolia, for seeing images in objects, like clouds and rocks See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia. This used to be considered a mental illness, but now it is accepted as a normal human tendency. So we are apparently normal, but maybe more imaginative than some.
