The “Cultures” are those of the endlessly fascinating Southeast Asian countries of Vietnam, Cambodia and Malaysia. “Chicken Feet” represents the tastes and smells of the native cuisine and the colorful lifestyles of the people throughout those enchanting lands. And “Conical Hats”? If you’re a photographer, they’re a vivid symbol of the evocative imagery that’s available on just about every street corner and village through Southeast Asia.
These images are from The Black Hills in South Dakota and Wyoming. The landscapes are outstanding, especially with a beautiful coat of fresh snow. Mount Rushmore will always astound me. A few miles east of The Black Hills is the Badlands National Park. Needless to say, its an area that will take your breath away.
