What are Badlands?

Badlands are lands which are unusable due to their aridity and barrenness. Some of the most famous badlands can be found in North America, most notably Badlands National Park in South Dakota. Badlands can also be found in New Zealand and Spain. Source: www.wisegeek.com/what-are-badlands.htm

ND Filter test. No tripod. Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Picked up a couple of filters and cable release shutter at a local camera store sale today. So went to Minnehaha Park to test my filters. This one came out decent considering it was hand held.

Begging Burros is a name used to refer to the donkeys in Custer State Park. For many years, these donkeys have earned this nickname as they approach various passing cars through the park begging for food. After earning this reputation, the burros have become famous now garnering the attention of most travelers through the park inside and outside of cars. Many people bring food to the park specifically for the purpose of feeding these animals. The Begging Burros inhabit one area of the park upon a hill where approximately 50 of them try to obtain any food they can. Custer State Park's roadway is blocked off by these animals to the point where a driver needs to beep his or her horn to pass and continue through the park.

Wall Drug is an old mid-western shopping mall consisting of a drug store, gift shop, restaurants and various other stores. The New York Times has described Wall Drug as "a sprawling tourist attraction of international renown [that] takes in more than $10 million a year and draws some two million annual visitors to a remote town". That is quite impressive considering Badlands which is more well-known draws one million annual visitors.
