Stop sign that has been riddled with a shotgun outside of Havre, Montana.
There aren’t too many road signs here in Montana that don’t have bullet holes in them. At first I didn’t understand why. But then I realized it was for the same reasons I have so many photographs of utility poles. On the stark eastern Montana landscape often there is little else.
I captured this image south and east of Havre early in the morning as the sun was just rising above the horizon. I’ve been waiting to find a good sign with bullet holes to photograph with the sun coming through. The utilty poles in the background were a nice addition.

This picture is worth millions. I know it’s not easy to capture a picture like this one. It’s breath-taking. No one can merely glance at this picture. It’s one of those pictures that you look at and ask questions and probably call your friend, showing them the hole in the sign where the sun’s coming through. Great picture!!
