Driving through the Badlands Loop in South Dakota, some of the prettiest landscape charms you. Here’s a photo from the park website.

I was impressed with the shelters built by the National Park Services. The stucco and steel frames just fit into the park. I particularly liked the bent corner plate that provided lateral stability as well as a look of strength.

Creativity and beauty often come in the most surprising places. As you work and live, strive for both.

Here’s a home video from the Badlands that I made a few days ago. It just makes me happy to watch.
