A Rare Phenomenon of Blooming Flowers in the Badlands of Utah, USA

The Badlands of Utah, USA. The badlands are the type of a vast terrain – dry, eroded and with a minimal vegetation. However, it displays a magnificent range of colors and is surrounded with canyons, hoodoos, ravines and similar rock formations. Even as arid as the badlands are, they still are full of surprises.

Photographer Gyu Tal has depicted a very rare phenomenon, that occurs in Utah every couple of years. Only for a few days this vast area gets covered in Scorpionweed and Beeplant, turning the badlands into a purple or yellow fragrant sea. There are also pastures around, where cattle graze with the badlands in the background. The nature cannot be less unspoiled and more beautiful.
