This is the Pine Ridge area in northwestern Nebraska, around the towns of Crawford and Chadron. It's a distinctly rural place -- nice scenery, friendly people!
These sandstone bluffs are just inside Fort Robinson State Park at Crawford.
Here's the view from on top of those sandstone bluffs. It's about an hour's hike to get up here. Not heavily traveled, but well worth the view. (This is a stitched panorama, 118 degrees side to side. See here and here for larger files with more detail.)
From the backside of the same bluffs, overlooking Crawford.
From Squaw Creek Road, southeast of Crawford.
I hope the color on these comes out OK -- preparing photos on a laptop is always a bit dicey. Enjoy!

Nicely done, Rik, and I'm glad you're getting a chance to rejuvenate your photo genes by doing some photography in a different sort of place than you usually do!

Yes, I always do enjoy travelling the States with the American uncles!
Great, beautiful and vast country you live in, so many interesting places to visit! Looks like you are gathering quite some miles. Not at all just "fly over country" as some people call it there in the hinterland, if one knows what to look for! I would love to probe that pine forest for insects!
Thanks for sharing it with us, Rik.
Take care!

Hi Rik,
Welcome to the Great State of Nebraska. You've found some of our wonderful scenery and certainly done it justice with your photos. If you make it to the east coast (along the Missouri) stop in for a visit.

A pixel is worth a thousand words but it takes a thousand words to explain a pixel.
