Figure 1. Stormy Morning, Badlands National Park.
After so many years, I am glad to return and visit South Dakota Badlands again in 2015. I was here during Memorial Day Week when the grass was fresh and green. It rained more than the average but I had fun any way.
While badlands are not difficult to see, the scale is not like South Dakota Badlands. It extends so far with sharp contrast against the green grass. It is certainly an amazing scene to see in person.
I was doing a routine patrolling the park on one morning. A storm was starting to break and I got some good shots during this moment. This is one of my favorites. It shows not only the details with good contrast in light and color, but also gives a sense of the space. The subtle lighting due to the storm adds the charm further.
Of course this lighting didn't last long. I am just glad to to be at right place and right time.
