Veins of the Earth
Eastern Montana
Beneath a sky etched with sweeping clouds, the cracked surface of Montana’s badlands stretches toward distant, banded buttes. A faint, winding channel traces the path of ancient water, revealing the desert’s hidden pulse. Here, erosion becomes art—each fissure and fold a testament to the quiet forces that shape this timeless and untamed landscape. Photo © copyright by Joseph Rossbach.
