An Original Landscape Photograph

Have you ever been to the badlands? One of my Dads favorite places. A place not to be missed he encouraged. “Ethereal”, he described. A favorite place of his, and his friend Fred, to ride their motorcycles to, and in. Fred has passed. My Dad misses him, their friendship. Still a favorite place of his.

When driving cross country, a drive through the Badlands was a must. The stay was brief, only an overnight, and then back on the road. Pulling in, we were tired from being on the road. There were crowds of people. The Badlands were beautiful. We pulled the RV in, and went to bed. Our drive out in the morning, is what I remember. The light was dancing around all the corners. No one was around. It was still and quiet. The rich colors. Wildlife moving around. It was a very peaceful and beautiful start to the morning. There was no time, as we had miles and miles ahead of us to cover… But as we were driving out of there in the morning, rounding the corners, finding incredible beauty around every turn… I thought about how I would’ve loved to have gone out for a run while I was there… Maybe another time.
