I think this looks more realistic than any Dr Who set. :oP
In Dr Who you can usually tell it's in a quarry or similar somewhere, the first shot does indeed look rather alien.

Something that's hard to get across in a photograph is the *scale* here -- oddly, Meteor Crater in AZ looks *big* in photos, but it's 1.2km across, whereas Haughton Crater is 20km across. Subsequent erosion has made it look less 'cratery', which doesn't help, but still...

*nods* By the looks of it, there aren't many reference points like mountains in the distance, either.

I (and most folks up here) lose my sense of perspective up here - there's nothing to provide it. No trees, no people, etc. It's a very strange sensation.
