Golden sunlight bathes a dramatic, striated butte as it rises beside a curving road in Badlands National Park, South Dakota. The erosion-carved rock layers display rich earth tones, contrasted sharply by the deep blue sky above. This tranquil summer moment captures the rugged beauty of the American West. This photograph was shot by Duncan Rawlinson.
