"Badlands Sunrise" by Diamonte, 16 | Badlands National Park

The sun lights up the valley as it's about to steal away the beautiful sky and the graceful clouds. Leaving me breathless, drawing a tear to my eye. Greatness surrounds this place.

About Diamonte: "My name is Diamonte and I’m 16 years old. I’m from Amery, WI, the Town of Lakes. I enjoy skateboarding, snowboarding, riding bike, and just about anything else that involves outdoor activity. I tend to have troubles with staying home and drug abuse. That was the past though. As for the future, I plan to use my talents and maintain healthy relationships. Change has never been something for me, but these photos help me see that change is all around. Photography is something that helps widen my vision even more than it has already at Northwest Passage."
