I've been asked to photograph an album cover shot for a friend's band. He wants something that has no recognizable landmarks, and that has a moon-scape-esq look/feel to it. I suggested something like a quarry and he agreed as long as it wasn't going to have the tractors/equipment in the shot. We are all in the Sacramento/Stockton central valley area.
I'm thinking something like the quarries in Ione,

with the weird colored rocks/water, but don't know of any with sort of public access.
Any suggestions? The main objectives are:
No visible man made items
Something un-recognizable (no- "I know where that was taken" )
Easy and cheap access.
Legal access
and moon-scape esq

Looks like it has potential. I'll have to check with the band's willingness to travel.

Sorry for the sidebar OP.
