Faultline View, II
I’m cheating a bit with this evening’s post. I was going back through the images from my recent drive to Tom Minor Basin and came across another composition that I really like. This is essentially the same exact scene as from yesterday’s post, but taken at a much wider angle to include the [...]
Faultline View
This view of Emigrant Peak is from along an old access road that is currently being used to divert primary “traffic” after someone crashed into a bridge on the main road and rendered it unstable.

Ringling was named after the famous John Ringling of Ringling Brothers/Barnum & Bailey circus fame and is now home to only 55 residents in a county called Meagher. Once a stop along “the Milwaukee Road” [...]
The Pivot
I was finally able to get out and photograph yesterday, I’d been looking forward to it since I started rebuilding my blog several weeks ago. This image comes from the far reaches of the Shields Valley, a quiet corridor north of here leading to the heart of the state. The melting water in [...]

Sorry I missed posting yesterday, I went to meet an old friend in Ennis, MT. We decided to make the quick drive over to Virginia City and found a quaint, deserted scene just starting to come to life. With about 130 residents, the famed mining town of the Old West is a far cry from [...]
