And I thought you had to go to science fiction movies to see stuff like this! LOL!

I wonder if they''ve filmed any sci-fi movies there. They''d save a ton of money on props and backdrops.

Maybe I've been spoiled by the Planet Earth series, because I've seen a lot more 'alien-looking' places! Very cool, though.

Some of those pictures look just like Tucson to me!

Whoa that is so cool! I could totally imagine going there and getting inspiration for some sci-fi novel!
