YellowMounds-5984-j
Early light in the Yellow Mounds area of Badlands National Park, South Dakota
The strangely colored mounds in these formations are the result of an ancient sea draining away and the chemicals from decaying plants turning the soil yellow.
I tried to process this image with out over processing the colors. Pretty sure this is how they looked on this morning.
The colors in these mounds change drastically with lighting conditions. Being almost washed out in strong mid day light to much deeper shades of colors in more diffused conditions.
