Oahe Dam's Stormy Sunset
Jul 25, 2013
John Mitchell shared these photos of a recent stormy night in Pierre. Mitchell is originally from Spearfish but now lives and works in Pierre as a computer support specialist for the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. "But don't get me type-cast as a computer nerd, because I'm a nature-lover and photographer at heart," he jokes.
Mitchell took one photography class in high school and has been honing his skills ever since. "Photography is my escape, my 'playing golf,' if you will. I try to go out and take photos every evening," he says. "Some people I've met over the years often don't realize how much beauty there is in South Dakota and it is my hope to share that with them."
