Aerial Photos Highlight the Rugged, Textured Topographies of the American Badlands

[Donkees]

Awash in pale blue light or the glimmers of dusk and dawn, the dry, eroded terrains of the American West appear as otherworldly vistas in the works of Stockholm-based photographer Tobias Hägg (previously). Captured in spring of this year, the aerial images peer down on or out across the vast, rugged landscapes known as badlands. These regions are replete with geological formations and terrain diversity, and Hägg spotlights such shifts in elevation and soil by documenting the rippling, ravine crevices and buttes that overlook the area. Light and shadow dramatize the images and accentuate the textures and depth of the extraordinarily craggy topographies.

1. There must be some of those canyons where nobody has ever set a foot.

3. Ty. So splendid!...

I've been in a different part of Arizona's high desert.

The sculptural nature of that, and this area is stunningly beautiful.
