"Central Montana coulee"
A familiar phenomena with the central Montana landscape are
"coulees". It is thought that they were formed from
glaciers, during a wetter age, rather than erosion as is more
commonly thought.
Site under construction, watch for more
images in October 2006. Contact

"Missouri River crossing"
The McClelland crossing of the Missouri River
is located in Montana and is one of the most remote of all
the Missouri River. A good days drive on dirt roads accross
wheatland and cattle grazing country leads one to the surprising
edge of a large plateau called "Ragland Bench".
With hardly any notice you then dropdown through the White
Cliffs Area to the McClelland crossing of the Missouri River.
This isolated place has changed little since before Lewis
& Clark first came through.

"evening light, central Montana"
Looking south accross Whiskey Ridge towards the Judith Mountains
and the Big & Little Snowy Mountains, one is humbled by
the peace and powerful sense of place.

Hilger, Montana looking west. 10 miles north of Lewistown
on US Hwy 191 & State Hwy 236 leading up to the Missouri
River. A town that seemed to grow out of an intersection of
some highways with a grain elevator and maybe a local bank
that later turned into one of a couple of bars which serves
as a local social gathering place.
