Photographing the Badlands of South Dakota last month south of Wall, SD
Last month, I photographed the Badlands of South Dakota outside Wall, SD for a couple days on my summer vacation. Badlands National Park is one of my favorite destinations in the Northern Plains as it provides some beautiful landscapes and wildlife. I've visited this park on a couple different occasions over the past few years. I've added several landscapes I shot with my Canon 5D Mark III as well as some wildlife photos I captured at Badlands National Park below:
Entering the park...
A bighorn sheep enjoying the hot summer day!
I got really low to achieve this angle for this landscape shot and it turned out quite well!
A beautiful landscape along SD Rt. 240!
I love this shot!
I took a 5-minute helicopter ride to get this aerial view!
A beautiful view!
Another aerial shot!
The bighorn sheep were definitely out n' about on this evening...

Gorgeous landscapes throughout the park!

A great couple days of photography at the park concludes...
It was fun hiking some trails and enjoying the mesmerizing landscapes found in this area as always.
I would also visit Devil's Tower and Mt. Rushmore as well on this trip during my vacation. I'll post those photos in the near future.
