I am an artist and I paint landscapes on other worlds, but I was not prepared for this wondrous sight. I really appreciate your pictures, and I'm so glad you had some drone fly-bys. What a fantastic place, thanks again. Does anyone in the motion picture business know about this? It would be a great setting for a Sci-Fi movie like "Dune".

Now I wonder what videos the RUclips algorithm is going to recommend after clicking on one with this name.

I was familiar with the phrase Long Dong Silver, but I never knew it was actually a place esp such as this. Very interesting. thanks for sharing.

So nice of it to give everyone a thumbs up at the end.

I've heard that before, but I can't quite remember why 🤔.

That looks like huge ancient mine. There are perfect right angles cut into the stone, nature doesn't do that. Erosion would "round" the edges of the stone. That's a fascinating place.

I *MUST* go there in my little plane!

[@obara77]

I was impressed by your drone videos and I would like to get one myself. What model do you have? Do you recommend it?

[@joemcintyre2090]

I lived in Utah for over thirty yrs and never new this existed. Very kool! The landscape looks very post apocalyptic, does anything grow there?

[@SwedeSpeeder]

Dongs, apparently. lol

[@joemcintyre2090]

Ha Ha Ha I think erosion is responsible for that.@@SwedeSpeeder

[@dnavid]

what is the original name given by native people who lived in this region? Was it something similar or something more appropriate or interesting?

[@act98006]

The only other name I have found for this rock is "The Spire"

Looks nothing like the name why would they do that
