Photo: Bisti Hoodoos Rock Formations

A series of rock formations called hoodoos in the Bisti Wilderness Area. These hoodoos are slowly being unearthed by the forces of nature.

Some capped hoodoos, long exposed to the elements, reach high into the sky while others have just recently surfaced, exposed as a result of erosion.

This is a typical scene in the Bisti Wilderness Area in New Mexico, an area of arid badlands which was once, 70 million years ago, a lush coastal rainforest.

There are many hoodoos and other rock formations to be found here in Bisti Wilderness, it's a photographers playground!
