Smokey Day, Again

Just a bit smokey around Great Falls today, courtesy of the various forest fires through out the region and even some from Idaho.  This was shot around 11:30 this morning from up at the airport. - Todd

Blue Moon

Tonight's blue moon...not actually blue but the second full moon of the month of August. - Todd

Night Photography

Did a little night photography last night, starting with a sunset and ending with one of my favorite subjects, the Moon. - Todd

The boys and I took a little drive through the mountains today...down past the Sluice Boxes, across past Logging Creek Campground and back into town through Stockett and Sand Coulee.  Nice little mountain drive.

From a trip to Ryan Dam the boys and I took a couple of weeks ago....

Railroads

It is the ordinary scene that I often find myself attracted to when doing my photography. The area often traveled but rarely noticed for more than just a short moment. Had someone stopped to think about the area they might see there is more than meets the eye. Places that mean more to days gone by...areas that might possibly have more history than meets the casual eye today.

Railroads were once the primary means of transportation for the American people. Though still active, it is more in the movement of freight and less in the movement of people. Many miles of railroad tracks lay idle across our great nation, symbols of the once ever popular transportation system now taking a backseat to the concrete ribbons of highways that move us around nowadays. Along these tracks are many relics of the golden days of the railroad; signs, signals and support buildings. Like the tracks they stand near, some are cared for while others are left to deteriorate in the weather....soon to be nothing more than a memory.

Lightning

So I will admit, between school, moving, and an active summer I've fallen a bit behind on the blog. As I work to get more images put on the blog, here are some lightning images I took last night. - Todd
