White pocket (there are multiple pockets but it's singular) is probably the most amazing place I've ever been to. Southern Utah and Northern Arizona have the most interesting formations in the world. That means good photography opportunities. But these places are not easy to get to. For this picture, you need a 4x4 truck and really good sense of direction. People actually can get lost, stranded and die in middle of nowhere. Pictures would look nicer if water is in the pockets with all the reflexion. But it only happens few times a year. You really have to be really lucky. When rains, it's almost impossible to get there; but if you wait too long after rain, then the water evaporates quickly in the desert. I was so lucky to have this shot. To get this we had to drain 1/2 tank of gas from the 4x4 car to make the car lighter and take some air out of its specialized tires to get more traction in the mud. Despite all the trouble, It was so worth it. (Sony A7R with Zeiss FE 16-35mm at 16, f/8, ISO=100, 1/200 sec, JPEG in Vivid mode). Difficulty: 9
