The Alien Throne
The Alien Throne in the Bisti Badlands of New Mexico. The landscape here looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. The clouds were covering up the stars this evening but I still like how this pic turned out.

Santa Monica Pier
Underneath the Santa Monica Pier at sunset. The sun setting and the waves lapping provide a peaceful moment below all of the commotion on top of the pier.
