Sunset over Roosevelt's Country

Sunset over Roosevelt's Country
THRO09D-44
July 10, 2009

Today's shot comprises a second set of Badlands.  Not the National Park in South Dakota, but instead Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.  Similar geology marks both parks, but the badlands in the north seem older.  Their peaks are less sharp, there is more scrub vegetation mixed in with the striated rock, and more wildlife (antelope, prairie dog, and bison just to name the big few).  This was looking across a short valley as the sun gently set, with the ever-present summer storm clouds passing across the sky.  Enjoy.
