Featured Work

Elements of Peace by Dawne Olson

Miles and miles of long rustling prairie grass and a big open sky. This is the kind of landscape that was ever before my eyes growing up in the wide open spaces of central South Dakota. There is so much beauty and simplicity in the basic elements of earth and sky that it never ceases to elicit a sense of peace in my heart each time I have the privleage to behold it.

Badlands South Dakota Yellow Mounds by Rob Schoon

The ancient sea drained away when the Black Hills formed in western South Dakota. This layer turned yellow because it was exposed to the air. Tropical plants grew here. Today this layer is called the Yellow Mounds. Source: http://www.nps.gov/badl/forteachers/upload/Badlands_layers_worksheet.pdf

Scott Slough at Sunset by Scott Hendricks

Five miles north west of Hartford, South Dakota is a large slough and State game production land bisected by a country road. It is a great place for an outdoor adventurer with a camera. There was something about the trees, the water and the sun that called to me to try different exposures and lighting.

Needles, Highway, South Dakota by Margaret Hyde

I don’t know how they could call it a highway. However it was a very interesting drive incorporatiing pigtail bridges and tunnels. This one is seen from the formation known as “the Eye Of the Needle, which is a tall rock with a hole near the top. I was told that some optimists had attempted to take a tourist buses through the tunnel – and got stuck – surprise, surprise..

Cattle Grid, Wyoming by Margaret Hyde

We were amused by these young Aberdeen Angus calves who were obviously wanting to venture into the outside world but were not prepared to cross the grid. They made tentative movements but always drew back. The photo was taken near Saratogo Wyoming

Iron Mountain Road US16A, South Dakota by Margaret Hyde

This road which eventually enters Custer State Park has a number of interesting methods of gaining height – pigtail bridges and tunnels for instance. The scenery, with thick forest and large rocks makes for an interesting and scenic drive.
Bighorn in Custer State Park, South Dakota by Margaret Hyde

These bighorn were quite content to let us take photos and even get closer. I have another “head” shot of one of them in my collection on RB.
Badlands National Park, South Dakota 9 by Margaret Hyde

The undulation of the road gives some indication of the soil type in the Badlands. The park is well worth a visit because of the unique landscape. Badlands National Park, South Dakota is a National Park

My love for old buildings continues…

South Dakota has been given many nicknames. Among them are: The Sunshine State, The Coyote State, The Blizzard State, The Artesian State, The Land of Plenty, The Land of Infinite Variety and (its official nickname) The Mount Rushmore State.
This group exists to showcase the state that we love and the people who make it so great. This truly is the land of Infinite Variety!
