This impossible scene appears to come straight out of H.R. Giger's brain. It is, however, a real place in the Bisti Badlands (New Mexico) sometimes referred to as "Alien Eggs". The rocks here take on odd organic shapes and appear to have split open revealing their payloads of more alien forms.

Shot with a Nikon D810a and Zeiss Distagon 15mm f/2.8 lens. The foreground is a focus blend....shot twice to account for near focus and infinity focus to provide sharpness across the entire field of view. The sky was imaged with twelve 15-second frames, registered in PixInsight, stacked and median combined in Photoshop.
