This image was taken during early morning light in Badlands National Park near a quiet bend in the road. The solitary tree in the frame adds contrast and scale against the backdrop of rugged, sedimentary buttes. This location is a favorite among photographers seeking to capture the harmony of manmade paths within wild, weathered terrain.
