President Theodore Roosevelt one of America's regarded and one of the four greatest US Presidents, said of the North Dakota badlands that "without my time in this land I would not have been president." The Dakota badlands is where he went to refresh his soul and become a man.

Roosevelt took his love of the wild land and became the conservation president. Roosevelt vastly expanded the public lands in the US. He created the National Forest System and the
US Forest Service to manage it. He created 5 new national parks. To protect the Grand Canyon for future generations he designated it as a national monument and it went on to become a national park.

He established the United States global reach as a superpower. He was the man with the muck rake busting corrupt companies and political alike. Something we seem to need today.

Roosevelt's Elk Horn Ranch is down stream on the Little Missouri river in this image. Today he has a National Park in the land he loved named in his honor.

A river runs through it - the Little Missouri to be exact. Roosevelt's Elk Horn Ranch is a unit in the park which lies on the river. In honor of Teddy there is a herd of long horn cattle managed inside the ranch.

Truman went to North Dakota. We only visited South Dakota and will do North Dakota another time. I've got a lot to share as I just finished processing photos. Just wait!

This image is from the Yellow Mounds Overlook in Badlands National Park. My wife and I love this part of the park and explored quite a bit of it including a free roaming hike between the mounds. Not having to stay on trails is a special feature of the Badlands and we took advantage of it a few times.

Between your images and Truman's comments, it is somewhere I need to go.... but may be a little too late this year.

If you can go in the next week or so you will catch the fall colors which were just starting. This was a bucket list trip and it exceeded our expectations. We hit a heat wave and it traveled with us so we could only hike in the mornings. In the afternoon we did drives looking for wildlife which was plentiful. The heat even followed us home. We encountered the cold front that ended the heat wave 3 times. It came through NYC last night yet this time it was dry.

Definitely go, Custer State Park and Badlands National Park are both varied and amazing.

Nice images. I usually shoot Grand Central at a higher ISO to avoid the blur. The other way is to go very slow, say 10 to 30 seconds depending on how busy it is. I like all 3

3 and 4 are my picks Raymond

Excellent shots Ulrik, B&W has worked great here!
 
Haven't been using my 35mm much so I challenged myself to shoot only this lens for that day (night). Ended up liking vertical shots only.

A delight to view

Thank you Morris. On the Grand Central shot I was going for a bit of crowd blur while keeping the building details sharp. Being hand-held and half a second I'm afraid I ended up with something that's neither here nor there. The good news is my daughter recently moved to Manhattan so I should get some more opportunities to try either higher ISO/shutter speed or very long shutter speed (on a tripod) as you suggest.

Time of year can make a difference. We've been there when it was brutally hot - 105 in the shade of which there is little. We've been there when we needed a jacket in the morning. It is a land of extremes. The last two years we came through in late July/early August. At that time the Strugis Motorcycle Rally is kicking up. Next year we are going to hit the Badlands on the way out West instead on the way back.

But if you haven't been it is worth the trip. If you come all that way, also take in Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park.
 
Awesome series. Great control of the contrast in a challenging environment.
 
Great moody series. That second one with the tree and the sheep get my vote for favorite.
 
Nice series. Like the down low perspective, especially on the first one. The effect on the second to last one is sweet.

Presently yearn to be someplace similar. Where is this?

Prairie Creek Redwoods State (and) National park- a collaboration between state and federal.
