I've been many places in the West, but the shifting nuances of light (sunrise, sunset, cloudy, moonlight, you name it) and the storms in the Black Hills and Badlands, have simply been unparalleled. And I've travelled a lot.

The Badlands are one of the most unique landscapes in the world. Like the kopjes of the Serengeti, or the Cappadocia of the Anatolian Plains. They stretch forever through the center of North America--Kansas and Nebraska, north all the way into places like the Saskatchewan Plains, Alberta Canada. And most Norte Americanos never heard of them.
