On the second day of our trip we were in the Badlands for late afternoon and evening. Storms rolled through and have posted some of the images taken as they approached the area. It then overwhelmed us and we had to sit in the car through heavy rain, lighting, and some small hail ... then the rain stopped.
This image was taken not long after the rain ended as I was looking back behind the car towards the west. There above the mountains behind us the colors were starting to hint at the possibility of a colorful sunset.
Once this shot was over, quickly got back into the car and headed back westward in the park to get to the higher ground to see what mother nature had in mind for the sunset.
As we drove into the mountain area and up towards higher ground it appeared that the reds in the sky waned, and that it was going to fizzle out ... alas it turned out to be spectacular once we reached the top ... those images to come soon ;)
