| Originally built in 1875 in Bannack, Montana, as the first Beaverhead County Courthouse, it remained empty for nearly a decade after the county seat was moved to Dillon, Montana in 1881. The building was purchased and transformed in a hotel by Dr. John Christian Meade in 1890. Hotel Meade operated on and off until the 1940s. Bannack is one of the best preserved ghost towns in Montana. For more information go to: http://www.bannack.org/photo_tour3.htm |

| People ask me what my biggest tip for photography is and I have to say one of my favorites is to look behind you. Some of the best photographs I have ever gotten have been when there is an amazing scene in front of me and then I turn around and find something even more incredible behind me. This was one of those shots. |

| Tonight's sunset may have been one of the most incredible sunsets I have ever observed. I left the highway, drove the back roads and took some pictures, but mostly enjoy the beauty. A unique view of the fire-like sunset through the trees in Arlee. September 2013. |

| To me, this picture is America: it stands for our freedom, our beauty and our strength. On a day like today, we all need to stand back and reflect upon our freedoms and opportunities in the United States of America. God Bless all the people who lost their lives on 9-11-01, the heroes and the victims, let us Never Forget. Photo from the top of Logan Pass in Glacier National Park. September 2009. |

| Elk are one of the most majestic creatures on Earth. Throw the Mission Mountains in the background and it can't get much more majestic than that! The bull elk was walking away from the herd after battling with the "herd bull" at the Bison Range. September 2008. |
