Description

Sunset in the Badlands National Park, South Dakota.
This park is an amazing place! On-going rains, freezes and thaws have eroded the terrain, creating spectacular canyons, buttes, pinnacles, and spires. The park also contains the largest protected mixed grass-prairie in the United States – home for bison, bighorn sheep, prairie dogs, black-footed ferrets, antelopes and deer. As the sun went down below the horizon, coyotes started howling down in the valley below, adding to the eerie atmosphere of the place!
Woohoo! Flickr Explore position #4 for June 1st 2012! Thank you for all your comments and faves!
