Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

Sunday, 07/10/2022: Posted photo — Chicago.

Settings: Canon EOS 60D, ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/320 s, 290 mm.

The first national park on our trip was Indiana Dunes. Indiana Dunes is on the shores of Lake Michigan. We decided to go to the lake to take some sunset photos. I took many photos of the sunset. I would normally post a photo of the actual sunset, but I did like this silhouette photo of the city of Chicago.

Settings: Canon EOS 60D, ISO 3200, f/3.5, 20 s, 18 mm.

We arrived at our first campsite at Badlands National Park late at night. After we setup our campsite, my wife and stayed up late to look at all the stars. I practiced my Milky Way photography. Still need much work.

Settings: Canon EOS 60D, ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/320 s, 103 mm.

Walking around Badlands, we saw a swam of birds coming out of a kiosk. When we saw the enclosure, we saw all the nests on it. What you see was on all four sides if the information kiosk.

This is a sign we saw at a rest stop in South Dakota. True cowboy and farming country.

Settings: Canon EOS 60D, ISO 100, f/7.1, 1/160 s, 50 mm.

The coal fire in Badlands was set during a controlled burn. The burn set off a vein of coal. You could smell smoke in the area. The only time they suggested you reported the fire is if you saw flames from the vein.
