This was a bonus find – I was in the area doing a farmstead photo thing for someone, and I noticed this beauty perched nearby. Once I’d accomplished my target objective, I flew over to get a closer look.

This one caught just the right light, didn’t it? I love taking pictures of these, and this one was particularly photogenic. It was a spur of the moment trip which brought me here, even though I’d been here before, and the conditions were better than I’d ever encountered at this spot.
I mark all my photo locations in my handheld GPS so I can refer to them later. This spot is a prime example of why I do this. I’ve been here on sunny days before, but there wasn’t anything particularly inspiring about this angle. But in this sunset light, however, it took on a whole new personality. It pays to track these things and come back to a certain spot when the time – and light – is right.
I recently spotted this unfortunate windmill while heading up to Arena to check on the status of St. John’s Church (it’s still there.) and had to stop for a few photos. I don’t remember every finding one in this condition.

They won’t all be sunsets, but I felt it was nice to lead off with a pair of windmills at one of my favorite times of day. I hope it’s yours, too!
It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? I’m trying to get back into the swing of things, and what better way to attempt such a feat than to go with something I know – and, I think, I’m pretty good at: windmill photos. I’ve got a few new/recent ones, so let’s have at it. One day at a time.
I was doing some drone work north of Bismarck-Mandan and found myself heading past Regan as the sun began to set. Naturally I popped in for a visit to the old jail, since I’ve always found this little building interesting. Besides, this is the best lighting condition I think I’ve ever had for a brief photo visit!
This post on the end has been the subject of my photos for twenty years. It used to stand tall for plenty of Northern Lights viewing nights and that sort of thing. Then, time yanked the earth out from under it.

I was poking around Lake Creek Falls in Wyoming last fall when I found an amazing artifact. Any guy can identify with the excitement I felt when I brought it back.

Okay, technically this cabin is next to a road, but not in the same way as the previous pair I’ve posted recently.
I grew up in the mountains, and if I had the means I’d get back there much more often than I do. Every day in the mountains is special, especially when a surprise like this presents itself!
My friend and I were hunting for a picnic spot next to a stream which carved its way through some huge, towering, rocky cliffs. We ventured upstream a ways to see if we could find a way to descend to the water, and we found one. We wound down it to the perfect picnic spot, wandered around among the rocks and burbling water, and marked it in the GPS for future visits.
On our way back, I stopped to snap this shot of an object which had caught my eye on the way down while we were preoccupied with finding our way. It didn’t disappoint. This is one of my favorite photos of the day! I can’t wait to go back someday…
I saw this footer on the front page of the February 18th issue of the BismarCk Tribune. This is a little embarassing…omitting the “c” in Bismarck? It’s literally in the name of the newspaper, after all. But ya gotta cut ’em a little slack, I suppose…
