Low hanging fog at dawn over Badlands National Park. |
On the first day of October, I watched the sun come up over Badlands National Park. Not a bad start to the month! I was also able to spend a little time in the northeastern portion of South Dakota chasing sunrises and fall colors. Here are twelve of my favorites photos of the month.
