THRO09D-90

Today's image comes from North Dakota, in Theodore Roosevelt National Park, despite the name of the post. Surprisingly enough, the Missouri River has its origins in the western part of North Dakota, flowing north until it makes a hairpin turn and then flows south, assuming its normal course and look. But here, in the badlands of North Dakota, the river flows amongst the sharp white cliffs that plateau out at the horizon, past scrubland, mule deer, and yucca as it slowly carves out the landscape, deepening the canyons. While this image was originally in color, it didn't have the right feel to it, and the stronger contrast between the whitish cliffs and the dark land beyond was more conducive to a monochrome. Enjoy.
