Alien Earth Landscapes

We spend all this time watching science fiction movies and marveling at the alien landscapes, wondering if Mars really does look like that and sitting in awe as Captain Kirk stiffly throws bad punches at a Gorn and wondering how people could ever manage to live in such a thrilling, yet barren and inhospitable landscape.

Nobody ever bothered to tell us that these "alien" landscapes are real and exist here on Earth...


These two are from Capitol Reef National Park, quite earthly yet so strange....
You may remember this scene from Galaxy Quest! In reality, it is Goblin Valley State Park, near Moab, Utah
