Badlands - South Dakota


This is from yesterday and I don't think there is too much to say ... it was once covered with water and the rocks contain a tremendous volume of fossils ... Paleontologist paradise. These formations go on for miles and miles and miles ... I know that in about 1 hours I had had enough and have no need to go back.

  1. One look at these pictures reminded me of a song by Bruce Springsteen:


    Badlands, you gotta live it every day
    Let the broken hearts stand
    As the price you've gotta pay
    We'll keep pushin' till it's understood
    And these badlands start treating us good

    ...

    I believe in the love that you gave me
    I believe in the hope that can save me
    I believe in the faith
    And I pray that some day it may raise me
    Above these badlands

    - Springsteen


    One look at these pictures and you can see that he wasn't talking about a small little bump in the road...
