Description
This scene at the big Foot Basin in Badlands National Park (South Dakota USA) invited multiple interpretations including streaking clouds and different color palettes! The Lakota people were the first to call this place "mako sica" or "land bad" because of the extreme temperatures, lack of water, and exposed rugged terrain led. French-Canadian fur trappers called it "les mauvais terres pour traverse," or "bad lands to travel through." But today as you drive through Badlands National Park, it is nothing short of astounding, with endless views of eroded buttes, pinnacles and spires. Here is the Big Foot Basin just as the sun is going down where you can see all the textures and colors of the landscape. Badlands was authorized as a National Monument in 1929 and redesignated as a national park in 1978. We should be forever grateful for the foresight of those who have fought to preserve such treasures around the country, and also grateful for those who continue to fight to preserve other beautiful lands for future generations to enjoy!
