in search of authentic experience

click to enlarge images:


amidst the extinct volcanoes and lake, deep in the Jornada Del Muerto:


the biggest surprise was the turn out


food to the left


radioactive materials to the right

apparently nuclear tourism is extremely popular with people of all ages


people came by the bus load








hundreds of people gathered


shared stories


scoured the desert floor for Trinitite

found it


stood back and took it all in

a replica of Fat Man was trucked in

almost everyone posed by the obelisk for a photo

some people got creative

others brought their dogs


meanwhile, outside the White Sand Missile Testing Range, the landscape maintains


clarity and breathtaking expanse



many pueblos are scattered throughout the area.
