2015/south dakota

The Badlands of South Dakota are a striking landscape of jagged, wind-carved peaks, deep gorges, and layered rock formations in hues of brown, red, and gold. The stark, otherworldly beauty of the area feels like a vast desert sculpted by centuries of erosion, with sharp cliffs and sweeping prairie vistas stretching to the horizon. The rugged terrain, often bathed in the soft light of dawn or dusk, evokes a sense of isolation and raw natural power, making it one of the most unique and captivating landscapes in the American West.
