We went to some new places on our recent road trip. One of the best was Theordore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota. Unique and beautiful badlands-type landscape with not only buffalo roaming the highways, but wild horses. This guy seemed to be striding with purpose as I captured a quick shot through our car window.

Just coincidental, but I'm struck by how similar the colors here are to the rusty trash can I posted yesterday.

Passing through

"Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights

Cold moan, held on the crest of the night

I'm too tired to fight.

So now we're passing strangers, at single tables

Still trying to get over

Still trying to write love songs for passing strangers

All those passing strangers

And the twinkling lies, all those twinkling lies

Sparkle with the wet ink on the paper"

(Marillion/Blind curve)

I had just enough time to adjust the iso and shoot. West Lakeview, Chicago, Illinois.
