White Pocket in Arizona has got to be one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever seen. It’s like nothing else out there, with such a huge diversity of formations ranging from cauliflower type of rocks to sandstone, with swirls and waves all over the place.<\/p>\n

The place may not be as famous as The Wave, just a few miles away, but it does not require a permit to get there (yet)! I was a little bummed when I realised I couldn’t go to The Wave (only 10 permits are issued per day through advance booking, 10 other permits are available on the day itself through a lottery) but I’m so glad I went to White Pocket instead. It’s like fantasy land for a photographer, offering much more to see than The Wave (or so I hear).<\/p>\n

Being in the wilderness, it’s not that easy to access, count 2 hours with a 4WD to get there, but it’s definitely worth it. If I had to do it again, I think I would spend the night there to do some astrophotography or witness a nice sunrise. The photo below was taken at sunset, just after a thunderstorm which helped clear the sky and give this gorgeous colour to the stone.<\/p>\n
