Badlands National Park, South Dakota, Part 7B – Day 4

This is a continuation of my morning shoot on the fourth full day of this visit to Badlands NP.

Grassland and Badland

I parked at a small pullout along SD240, where I noted a path through the grassland.  I took that path into the grasslands to see what opportunities I might find for photographing a large badlands feature in the distance.

Prickly Edge

The sky was still heavily overcast, which at this time of the morning was better for photography than having a clear sky and overly brightly lit landscape.

Prickly Edge – Wide View

Normally, I would not put the horizon at or near the center of an image, but here the sky was as interesting, perhaps more so, than the foreground.  So I’ve ignored that general rule about horizon placement in a number of my compositions here.

This is the Way
Darkland

This concludes my morning shooting in Badlands NP today.  Time to explore more of the park.

    1. Thanks, Diana. I like a sky with clouds, too. Without clouds the sky is bland and uninteresting.
