Ghosts of the Bisti Wilderness

These hoodoos in the Bisti Wilderness of New Mexico remind me of ghosts. Their shapes are all individual like children out on a Halloween caper. The backlighting on the features is what makes this subject come alive. The rock appears to glow from light being reflected from adjacent rocks and from a wrap around effect of the backlighting.
I planned to go specifically to the area of the Egg Factory for an evening shoot and, having enough time, I was able to explore the surrounding area for other subjects that are not often published. Since the image is unique I especially like having it in my portfolio. Again, look around the iconic site to see what else there is to be seen and photographed.
