It is a 24-hour culture now. While most are sleeping the drilling rigs are active. Even some construction continues through the night. Once a location is approved to be drilled, earth-movers and heavy equipment roll in to level the ground and prepare the surface for oil production. "Open prairie" transforms into "oil pad," complete with operation drilling rig like this one, in less than one-week's time. Image © Chad Ziemendorf

I drove north of Williston, North Dakota one warm August evening to check out a thunderstorm approaching town. It looked like a promising subject, so I took as many ten-second exposures as I could in the hopes that I'd capture a few decent lightning images. I kept at it until the first gusts from the approaching storm hit, kicking up clouds of dust as I made a beeline for my car. Once safely inside, I was happy to find this image in the mix. - Jerry Blank

One summer morning in North Dakota, I walked out my door and saw an eastern sky colored in amazingly vivid hues of blue and pink. I threw my gear into the car and raced to the nearest clear view of the horizon I could think of: the banks of the Little Muddy River at the southeast corner of Williston. By this time the colors in the sky were peaking in intensity, and a rich golden pre-dawn glow began to appear. I captured a few good images before the sun cleared the horizon. - Jerry Blank
