From this overlook area out in the Badlands (South Dakota), I carefully set up the tripod and camera on this high outcrop of hardened rock and mud (that is what basically makes up the foundation here in the area. The precipice I was on was only a coupe feet wide, and with steep drop offs of about 60 to 150 feet ... that just got deeper the farther you look out here into the view over the valley. I liked this shot as it really shows the chalky strata that makes up a large portion of the Badlands.

I stayed right next to camera the whole shot here as the winds were really kicking up with the approaching storm. Winds were gusting in the 30 to 40 MPH range, and I did not want to lose the camera and tripod ...

What a stark yet beautiful place in this world ... made all that more dramatic by the stormy clouds. Badlands indeed ;)

f/10 @ 300 seconds
