Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Badlands Rocks

11/10/2021 Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Badlands Rocks

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Badlands Rocks   The Badlands’ rock formations are distinguished by their vibrant red, tan, and white stripes.  Each stripe represents a different layer of sediment brought there by rivers and seas, millions of years ago.  Over time, the mud and grit hardened into layered sedimentary rock.  After sedimentary rock formed, the White, Bad, and Cheyenne rivers carved the flat floodplain into  sloping hills, jagged cliff faces, and precarious spires.  For more information and images, see The Badlands | a 7 Image Story.

The Back Story  Stop along the main road in Badlands NP, climb a small hill, and make simple click after focusing the PC-E lens.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
