Headland
- Headland
This image of water flowing over a flat, tilted rock in the San Miguel River in Telluride, Colorado contains some interesting abstract shapes, but it’s the many heads that coalesce among those shapes that gave this photo its name. The alien, animal, and humanoid heads emerge, one after the other, to create an increasingly hallucinatory experience.
For example, there’s the head and shoulders of a large alien with dark, bulbous eyes or goggles near the top, right of center, dominating that area of the image. He has a dark forehead and nose, a golden mouth and chin, and he’s wearing oversized headgear and a tunic with a high collar or maybe a breastplate.
Directly below him are two strange-looking heads in profile that appear to be staring at one another. The head on the left (looking down and to the right), is emerging from a golden ring of smoke. The head on the right (looking up and to the left), has some strange, fin-like structure on its forehead.
There seems to be some sort of drama going on between the two, something the larger alien above them is observing. While you think about that, check out the dragon or sea serpent in the upper left as it passes by in the background.
