Astronomy Festival / Badlands National Park, South Dakota @DakotaStarryNights

Uploaded July 2018 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Every year the National Park Service hosts an astronomy festival at the Badlands National Park in western South Dakota. I've done a number of photography workshops there over the years; which afforded me the opportunity to photograph the event and surrounding area. This is a collection of some of that work.
