King Of Wings - Blog Posts

King of Wings with Comet 252/Linear by Wayne Pinkston Via Flickr: This formation is called the King of Wings, and lies in the Badlands of New Mexico, south of Farmington, and north of Chaco Canyon. It is a "winged" hoodoo, and the massive eccentric wing is at least 30 feet, or 10 m long. You can easily walk under the wing. I am not usually claustrophobic, but every time I walked under it I had the feeling it would collapse on me, lol, so I qiuckly learned to walk around it. It has probably looked like this for millennia, but the eccentric weight on the rock must be tremendous. The camera was level, even thought the horizon does not look it. 14-24 mm lens at 19 mm, f/2.8, 20 sec., and ISO 12,800. Cheers, Wayne The small blue fuzzy object in the right center sky above the stone wing is the comet 252P/LINEAR. Thanks for taking the time to look. Hope you enjoy!  Please join me at: Website Facebook Instagram Blog
