A Sweeping Bend in the Little Missouri River Across the Theodore Roosevelt National Park Landscape

            An idea I got from another photographer while researching places to visit and images that I might want to capture for this national park. From this overlook along the Wind Canyon Trail, one could just take in the vista like view with the the sweeping bend of the Little Missouri River. I felt the colors of the early morning sunlight added to that view across the North Dakota landscape. To bring out more of that splendor of view, I decided to angle my SLR camera slightly downward and let the eyes just use the river as a leading line to move across this national park setting.
