Layered buttes and sharp spires rise above a soft prairie floor while the sky glows with late daylight. Bands of red and gray clay carve the formations into stripes, and the green grass in the foreground adds calm contrast to the rugged skyline.
I made this photograph near sunset along the Badlands rim, waiting for the clouds to thin so warm light could touch the peaks. A wide composition keeps the meadow, the pinnacles, and the glowing sky in balance, capturing the serene mood of evening in South Dakota’s Badlands.
