Buffalo at Wind Cave National Park
Mar 4, 2014
It was 9 degrees below zero and snowing sideways when Joel Schwader photographed these buffalo at Wind Cave National Park near Hot Springs. "Most people thought I was crazy," Schwader says. "I pushed snow with the front bumper of my van to get to a place that has no cell phone service. For hours I sat on the edge of a gravel road near Boland Ridge and tried my best to capture the raw courage and simple beauty of the North American bison."

You captured their sprit in their eyes.
We are so busy we don’t get time to get out and enjoy them for ourselves.

Thanks for the pictures.
The first time I saw a bison -here, in a Spanish zoo- I thought it was a walking mountain.
