A Horse with No Name

A Horse with No Name

A horse stands guard on top of a hill overlooking Havre, Montana.

It’s hard to get horses to stand still, let alone position themselves perfectly on top of a hill. Lucky for me this guy did just that. And lucky for me there are still more horses in greater Montana…and more hills.

Dreamscape

Dreamscape

The rolling, undulating hills of Hill County outside of Havre, Montana.

The skies were so dramatic and the landscape so altering; it was such a wonderful scene. Combined with some afternoon sunlight, I thought I would make a good chance to capture some black & white photographs. I liked the results.

Montanan Spring

A view across the open plain at Bitter Creek Wilderness Area near Glasgow, Montana.

It was an awesome afternoon to be hiking through Bitter Creek. I saw all sorts of wildlife, including the threatened sage grouse, pronghorn, mule deer, song birds, and my first encounter with a harrier while sitting beneath this cottonwood tree. He (or she) was none too happy with my presence. Perhaps it had to do something with its nest overhead.

Wheat Field

A cloud covered wheat field outside of Havre, Montana.

The clouds were absolutely beautiful this afternoon. As soon as I looked outside I knew where I needed to be. I passed this field some time ago and was waiting for some clouds and afternoon light to photograph it. This is the result.

Abandoned Elevator

A shot of the deteriorating old grain elevator in Loredo, Montana.

This is one of only two structures in Loredo, Montana. The other building is abandoned, too. These tall, looming grain elevators dot the northern Montana landscape; reminders of a different time in America and relics of the past.

Last Light

A view across Lower Lake at Beaver Creek Park in Montana.

I was experimenting with a new technique this afternoon. I am liking what I am seeing so far. Lower Lake is just south of Havre, Montana. I absolutely love the hills around here.

Prairie Cemetery

Barn on the Plain

Barn on the Plain

An old, red barn sits alone on the open plains outside of Cleveland, Montana.

Stumbled onto this scene while driving around Montana. The state, for the most part, is quite barren. But occasionally you stumble onto remnants of civilization, which punctuates the otherwise empty landscape. This old barn is no exception.
