Beautiful Lawrence County

Sitting on the edge of the Black Hills I think Lawrence County is one of the prettiest areas in South Dakota.  A combination of prairie meeting the hills makes a nice mix of countryside to photograph.  Here are a couple of shots from last week as I followed the Miles City-Deadwood wagon train into Spearfish.  The green summer grass is taking on a warm yellow tone as Fall closes in.  And of course the beautiful blue skies of a South Dakota late summer day make the colors pop. This first shot is enhanced with a technique to soften and slightly blur the scene, called the Orton effect, I love what it does to the colors.
