Badlands National Park, South Dakota

Uploaded: March 25, 2008

Description

Writer Freeman Tilden described the region as "Peaks and valleys of delicately banded colors, colors that shift in the sunshine,...and a thousand tints that color charts do not show". Badlands National Park located in South Dakota, is a very unusual, rugged and beautiful place with an abundance of wildlife and wildflowers.

I love the way you've shown the delicate colors of the strata here, Denny. I was just looking at an old slide of mine from the Badlands the other day, but this one is so much nicer at showing this sometimes forbidding landscape. #5701340

Wow! Your Badlands photo is gorgeous! I am familiar with the dark, forbidding ones that look rather blah and this is beautiful! Great work. #5702811
