Found this link on the Clark Ashton Smith forums: The Most Alien Looking Place on Earth. A place called the island of Socotra, somewhere off Yemen.
Frankly, I want to go!

More Life on Mars – series 2 photos!
Due to the recent interest via Google and other search engines pointing traffic for Life on Mars – series 2 towards this blog I’ve decided to post all of the pictures I took last summer when they filmed scenes for series 2 down the bottom of my road. Hope fans of Life on Mars like them. For non-fans there are the 1970s cars to look at which are quite beautiful in my opinion. For the sake of completeness I have included all of the photos in this post including the ones I showed on the original Life on Mars – series 2: photo exclusive post.
First are the production scenes. They are mainly long distance with my zoom at full, so the quality is not so hot. The eagle-eyed of you should make out John Simm and some other actors of the show. Apparently the topic of this episode is racism, hence the choice of location: an Asian area with a temple on the corner and lots of old terraced houses – perfect for the show.

Life on Mars – series 2: photo exlussive
Well some scenes from the BBC time travel 1970s cop show Life on Mars was filmed at the bottom of my road yesterday, so I took some pictures. Unfortunately I missed much of the filming but I did get a couple of long distant shots of them filming a scene with the shows star John Simm getting out of a car and having a chat with an actress and some pics of 1970s cars.
So if you are a fan of the show or just like 1970s cars, here they are:
