A Place I Have to Visit! - stock photo

A Place I Have to Visit! When reading about places to visit in South and then North Dakota, I came across this Custer State Park with its Needles Highway and the Wildlife Loop Road...amazing views! Then there was this one famous location called Sylvan Lake with the surrounding evergreens and backdrop of hilltops and granite. So after spending some time at the Crazy Horse Memorial, I headed out South Dakota Hwy 87, and there it was! Walking around the lake area, I was able to find this point with a straw-like field. I then composed an image looking across it with a slightly closed exposure to the granite hilltops off in the distance. I angled my SLR camera slightly downward to minimize the more overcast skies above.
