Season One - Episode 13

Grasslands National Park is the only significant park in North America dedicated to the preservation of natural prairie habitat. These Grasslands are home to a unique variety of flora and fauna including scorpions, rattlesnakes and cacti. In this episode we visit the park in mid-December with photographer Don Hall. With only a few hours of good working light each day, Hall succeeds in revealing what he calls “the extraordinary ordinary in the landscape.” Indeed, while Grasslands in mid-December may at first present itself as sparse wind-swept expanse, looking through the lens we are soon enraptured by its harsh buttes, dancing golden grass, and brilliant winter sun.
