David Lemke Photography

Gnarly Tree, Badlands National Park, South Dakota

This tree is located right next to a wooden boardwalk. I have photographed this tree on two different occasions. Before I step off the boardwalk to make the photograph I first get down onto my belly and look under the boardwalk. Then I swish the legs of my tripod through the grass just to make sure there are no "critters" in the area.
