<br />
Eclipse Starburst - I was told later that some call this the diamond ring.<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough to be in the path of totality and we had a clear sky that day. It was just like they said it would be. Up until the the total eclipse, the light was just weird. It was as if you had a pair of polarized sunglasses on....<br />
<br />
Then, right on time, it went dark. The street lights came on. The temperature noticeably dropped. Day was night.<br />
<br />
It was an experience I will never forget.<br />
<br />
I didn't have any fancy setup to get this shot. I didn't plan on taking any pictures to be honest. I just wanted to enjoy the moment.<br />
<br />
But, at the last minute, I grabbed my Fuji X100T and simply placed my eclipse glasses over the lens...<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
About 2/3 of the way across South Dakota is a tourist attraction called "1880's Town". I have stopped here a few times as I traveled across South Dakota and if you have never been...I think it is worth it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can read the history of the attraction <a href="http://www.1880town.com/1880-town/history-of-1880-town/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cool thing about the town is that it was assembled with mostly period buildings that were purchased and moved to the site. One of the buildings, an old church, is set apart from the other buildings. It lies on the prairie, underneath a giant sky, seemingly waiting for the congregation to arrive.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The light that falls through the mountains is spectacular. With so many differences in elevation, the light creates a beautiful contrast that is much harder to find in the flat lands where I'm from....</div>

Wyoming is a state that I would like to get back to soon. I need to explore there more.</div>

I would love to tell you that I hiked for days searching for this beautiful and elusive wolf. I would love to tell you that I tracked it for days and that after two solid weeks of living in the wild, I finally captured this single image....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, I took this at Bear Country USA in South Dakota, a really cool place if you want to see a LOT of bears...and maybe a wolf.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you drive across South Dakota from East to West, there is a very long stretch that, although beautiful, is rather....uneventful. I like the prairie. I like vast landscapes where you can see for miles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But, from the eastern border to the Badlands of South Dakota there is not much to see.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you near the middle of the state on I-90, there is a small, mostly abandoned town named Okaton. (Okaton is where I took <a href="http://timetotakepictures.blogspot.com/2012/09/stand_10.html" target="_blank">this picture</a> ) that is definitely worth a stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Along with some interesting abandoned buildings, there is a field full of old abandoned cars. Like this truck.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I just couldn't come up with a creative name for this one...so, I took the "movie cop-out" and just added a "II" to the end of another Badlands road picture.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have this internal debate, where I can't decide whether I should name my pictures. Sometimes I like the way that a good title can add to an image, and other times it seems better to leave the image alone. Let it stand on its own merits, without any literary help.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After the rain passed and the rainbow moved on, we started a drive through the Badlands Loop Road. The after effects of the storm made for some outstanding scenery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I love road shots. They remind me of the adventure of travel. They keep me longing to see what is around the next corner.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It seemed fresh and in stark contrast to the dry beauty that I had witnessed on every other trip. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It let the landscape breathe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And I was so glad that we were there to witness it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">After the rainbow over the Badlands faded, the setting sun and the perfect clouds made for some truly epic scenery. The shadows cast by the jagged edges of the Badlands added a fantastic edginess, contrasting with the soft skies created by the clouds.</span></div>

Once we saw the rainbow, we chased it up the road to a higher point in the pass. I wanted to get it falling into the valley. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About halfway up the pass, I pulled over and got out to get some shots. Even with a wide angle lens, I couldn't get everything in the shot that I wanted. So I took multiple overlapping shots. </div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Badlands National Park only averages around 16 inches of precipitation per year, and some of that is snow.I have been through this park 5 times before and never had a drop of rain, let alone dramatic clouds and a rainbow.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 19.3199996948242px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We made it to the Badlands in the late afternoon and the skies were blue with perfect white puffy clouds. We stopped and took a few pictures and looked around, then proceeded to the campground and set up our tent. By then the clouds were getting darker an<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">d we were getting hungry, so we headed to the Cedar Pass Lodge for an early dinner.</span></span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As we sat there eating, it started to rain, but it didn't really occur to me that this was something I hadn't really seen before...</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
We finished eating, then headed back to the car and found this awesome sky and a rainbow waiting for us. We jumped in the car and headed up back up the pass, where I got this shot.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I think the odds of us seeing this on any given day of the year were pretty low, so I told Emily that she must be my lucky charm.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px; text-align: justify;">
I have many more great images from that day, can't wait to post them</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">This summer, my 10 year old daughter and I went camping. We drove over 3000 miles in 6 days. We camped next to streams in a National Forest, in a National Park, in a State Park and even slept a few hours in the car at a rest stop on the way home. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">We visited Badlands National Park, Custer State Park, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Devil's Tower National Monument, Yellowstone National Park and numerous other sites along the way. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">We had a lot of fun and I hope that it is something that she will remember for the rest of her life. Here is the first of many pictures to come...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Most of us have no idea what we are missing...<br /><br />I never really thought much about light pollution until a trip to South Dakota's Badlands 6 years ago. We set up our camp and when I looked up at the night sky I was flabbergasted by the view. If only we could all see skies like this every night.<br /><br />Driving south from Dodge City, KS on gravel roads to find a spot to make some night sky images, I never expected that I would be so alone. I parked on several different roads for extended periods of time and never saw another car.<br /><br />I used my phone to light up the corn during this 30 second exposure.</span></div>
