A beautiful morning in the Badlands

















After my recent visit to Nebraska, I took a slight detour on the way home to visit the Black Hills and the Badlands of South Dakota.  I arrived in Badlands National Park in the late afternoon hoping for some nice sunset conditions, but it was not meant to be.  The day ended much the same way it began: with overcast skies, high winds, and very little color in the sky.  The following morning was a different story.  The wind had died overnight and was nothing more than a slight breeze, and the heavy cloud cover had disappeared along with the wind.  What remained were some very intriguing clouds that added a lot of interest to my wide-angle landscape shots of the Badlands.
