MONTANA
Photographs & Paintings

Great Falls, discovered by Lewis & Clark, had 5 Great Falls that stopped their navigation of the Missouri River.    All have been turned into Dams, yet vestiges of fast flowing water can still be seen.

The 5 Great Falls  are Black Eagle Dam (which still has smattering of the original Falls),  Morony Dam (some sulphur springs near by), Ryan Dam,  Rainbow Dam and the highpoint of Heritage Park, Giant Springs. 

Unique sights are in every corner of Montana!
      A modern-day wind farm perches on a hilltop, surrounded  by stripes of crops planted in strip farm fields.  The older hydroelectric power lines curve around the road, showing the past and the future in one scene.

       The train put Montana on the Map! The Great Northern Railroad dared the northernmost transcontinental railroad route...opening much undeveloped territory.  The Great Northern was the inspiration to rail lines that followed.   Traveling  to the original entrance of Yellowstone NP in Southern Montana you pass the Gallatin Hills on the Yellowstone River.  Go far, far north and you'll find large expanses of wheat fields.  South of Missoula is Lolo Peak and colorful ranches.
