Photos of the Day: NOT #StarWarsDay, I swear!

These locales locales look truly otherworldly -- but they are all places I've had the fortune to visit and photograph.

Setting of another sun, on an alien desert? Nope. Sol over Sedona, Arizona.

Spider Rock, Canyon de Chelly, Arizona. Reputedly home to the Navajo goddess
Spider Woman. Hey, she had some serious powers. Maybe a Jedi ...?

Alien code? Nope. Pictographs on Newspaper Rock, Canyonlands National Park, Utah.

Evil alien, frozen in stone by his enemies? Nope -- amazing rock formations
in the Valley of the Gods, Utah.

Monument Valley, Utah.
