Now this is what I'm talkin' about regarding scale... (show quote)
Thank you, Linda, for your thoughtful rendition. I'm quite enamoured of the upper part of the sky in this photo, but feel there is too much of it. Think I'll try reducing the lower third or so and see what comes out.

From what I've seen of your contributions I consider this high praise indeed. Thank you, kindly!

Doing some updating of PP of old photos I started on ones of a trip in 2007 when I was shooting a Minolta DiMAGE Z1, the camera I believe was the precursor to the bridge cameras of today. I always considered the photos of the Badlands rather flat and boring, being taken around mid-day at 95 degrees. I present a few here for your enjoyment and, I hope, some CC.

No really considering many of the people on here, but thanks, I appreciate it.

Last fall, I saw a video presentation from a gyroplane pilot flying over the badlands...wouldn't want to run out of fuel or have a breakdown out there!!!!

You'd need a lot of water to make it, I reckon.

Thanks for the look, Karin. 6 is a closer look at 5. This area was a pleasant surprise after miles and miles of stark drab.

Beautiful shots, Neil! I love the different colors!
Thank you, Sue. The hues, shades, and land forms continually change all along the route through the Park.

Hi, Neil,
Thanks for the head's up!
Yes, I've been otherwise occupied, of late, and every few days stop by for a quick look, but am sorry to have missed your images from the Badlands, so appreciate your note. I'd hate to have missed them.
I've enjoyed the whole series especially because I've a good sense of exactly where you stood to get almost every one of those views. They extend from the Eastern to the extreme Western end of the NP and includes some of the Sage Creek Wildernss area where many more casual visitors never get into. A really good visit you must have had. I'm still hoping to get out there this Winter when there is some significan snow...It's a whole different world when overlaid with snow!
Best regards, Neil.
Any chance we might run into each other out there during the next couple of months?
Dave
