There's a Reason It's Called the Big Sky Country

The pedometer registered over 20,000 steps today, but they were well worth it. These shots were taken along the last 5,000 or so steps, as the sun was starting to think about setting. When I moved from Montana to Kentucky and from there to Virginia, one of the hard things to get used to was that towns never seemed to end. You always seemed to be within sight of civilization. These shots were taken with Great Falls to my back, and while there are some signs of civilization, a building here, a truck on a road there, you're immediately struck with how much of nothing but nature is really out there.
