The Dreary Badlands

July 4, 2009
A stark contrast from yesterday's cheerful, sunny panorama, today we see the storm-clouded side of the Badlands, which I think really highlights their name. This storm rolled through, as this panorama was taken just a day after my arrival in the Badlands (when yesterday's image was composed). But this expanse, with the scraggly green dotted here and there, but dominated by the unending brown, desolate-looking landscape. In a way it reminds me of my shot at the travertine terraces of Yellowstone, which also exudes this lonely aura. All the same, I like the moodiness, so enjoy.
