Rippled badlands in South Dakota’s Badlands National Park look more like a scene from a foreign planet than the Midwest. The badland formations within the park were formed millions of years ago by tiny grains of sand, silt, and clay being cemented together into sedimentary rock over time. Exposed badland formations within the park provide a fascinating glimpse into the past, and fossil from animals such as alligators and sea reptiles have been found within the park. Prints Available.

There is no place that I feel more alive, more connected to what is important, than the wilderness. Whether an icy mountain summit, a misty forest, or a rocky coastline, the wild places of the world feel like home to me. While my love for the outdoors precedes my passion for photography, I now could not imagine having one without the other. Add a car to the equation, and the result for me is the feeling of absolute freedom, where the possibilities are limited only by my imagination and willpower. View more posts
