We’ve seen many photographs of North Dakota’s cities, landmarks, natural beauty, and places. With just the right atmosphere, one picture can look very different from another of the exact same place, sometimes almost as if they were taken in another world. These masterful photographers captured these places here in ND just right, and the photos look surreal.

- Can you guess where this was taken? It isn’t Mars - this was taken on a foggy morning in Minot.

- Sun dogs on a chilly morning near Fargo almost look like they outline a huge nearby planet that could be seen from another planet’s glistening surface.

- Possibly a shot taken on top of Buck Hill, or is it the dusty shot of some far away moon’s surface?
