The Badlands: nice to visit, but . . .

We’re running out of adjectives. May we resurrect “groovy” or “out of sight”? There’s a story behind everything you see, if you have the patience to look and listen and look again. The yellow and red hills are fossilized soil. The landscape erodes one inch per year. As with everything we’ve seen, it is constantly changing. Where big horn sheep are in their glory, humans find it much harder to scratch out a living. Of course, we’re suffering from sensory overload and are afraid of being accused of photoshopping. But, this is truth, mile by mile, foot by foot. If you look carefully, it is all beautiful.
