Tree Pair by Steve Babbitt Image: “This image is from my series titled ‘The South Dakota Prairie Project’. Most of the images from this project deal with the changing face of rural South Dakota, the landscape, and our influence on the landscape. I have always had a fascination with the subtle beauty of the Great Plains and the prairie, and I never tire of trying to capture its harshness and beauty.”
