Meade Hotel

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.

Skies On Fire

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.

Photo of the Day: February 17, 2015 (Pink Skies Over Gray Wolf)

I recently was asked by a follower why I had stopped posting my photos of the day...and the truth is life just got in the way.  At his request, I am going to try to start posting them again.  So, today I thought it fitting that I start with the mountains that inspire me most. I hope you enjoy.  <3 Christine

Pink Skies Over Gray Wolf

The other night I saw my daughter grab her iPod and run outside---this is what she was running to take a picture of.  I couldn't agree with her more that it was a picture worthy sunset.

Satellite Elk

Believe it or not, this "little" guy was a satellite bull in a herd near Madison Junction in Yellowstone.  The herd bull had a 7x7 elk rack.  September 2005.
