Planet Oryzon V, viewed from orbit, presents a stark vista of shimmering white and silver, signaling its unique feature: vast deserts of crystalline sand. This celestial body, slightly smaller than Earth, hosts a thin atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen and trace gases, allowing harsh sunlight to illuminate its surface uninterrupted. The terrain is dominated by the mesmerizing Crystal Desert, stretching endlessly with its translucent, sharp-edged sands that glint under the sun’s fierce blaze. Oryzon V’s axial tilt causes extreme temperature shifts, creating conditions where nightly frosts glaze over the crystal sands, transforming the landscape into a reflective mirror by dawn. Dust storms, rare yet violent, can suddenly shroud the desert in a thick, abrasive fog of crystal shards, drastically altering visibility and the desert's surface appearance.

One of the most surreal landscapes--it looks like it's from Mars or another planet. You can go down and look for Matt Damon...😉😎 We got up before sunrise and drove to a viewpoint to catch the first light raking the hoodoos to bring out the forms and texture. Even just an hour later, the landscape looks quite flat. * * * * #stuartdee #hoodoos #brycecanyon #brycecanyonnationalpark #bryceatsunrise #martianlandscape (at Bryce Canyon National Park)

Goodbye Mars we’ll see you again before too long. #epictrips #epictripsforyoursoul #sunrise #martianlandscape #anzaborrego #badlands #borregobadlands #californiaadventure #californialove (at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park)

Here is a #PrettyOrangeTable near the #ManEatingPlants transported from the #MartianLandscape. If you are not having a #PsychoticReaction to the #Ugly #VisualAtrocity across from the #NeonCalligraphy of #TruthCanNeverBeSilent, you may wish to enjoy a #PickleAndCheddarCheeseSandwich. I put lots of #Mayonnaise on mine...never scimpy or stingy. Do you like this #ChessTable? Are you afraid of man eating plants?

#HopeWillNeverBeSilent. Nice. #ArtOfNeonCalligraphy overlooks a #VisualAtrocity, must have been a the only thing growing on the #MartianLandscape, or it's a mechanical version of the #VenusFlytrap. (at SoulCycle)

Guys! I posted this actual photo I took on Mars in my #sketchbook Just ask anyone at NASA, or any relative of Stanley Kubrick and they’ll totes vouch for me. #watercolour #watersolubleoilpastels #gellyroll #martianlandscape
