Each of these photos feels like an essay on its own, they're so compelling. And bring back a lot of memories. My dad got a job in Pablo when I was ten and we lived in that area for a while. It's easy to forget how beautiful it is -- not just the mountains, but all of it -- when you're just passing through.
Breathtaking vistas! I just might save these to use as inspiration for my watercolour practice! I’m doing another 100 Day Art Project and am always looking for ideas. If that’s okay with you—I promise to give you credit if I post on IG.
Gorgeous. Makes me homesick for some of the similar landscape in northeastern Oregon, recognizing some of those habitats, and yet Montana looks like it has an even more dramatic and wide-ranging land to gaze on. I used to love rodeos but they've become so changed since the era of he who shall remain nameless, I can't stomach it. Indian rodeo would be the best and I wish I could go. I love seeing these, thanks so much for sharing with us. Just beautiful.
Loved this makes me so proud of this beautiful state I live in and you have captured it. So much history here that has been forgotten, never told, or covered up.

As always when I read/view your work I have so many questions. I will land on two; why are the coyote stories only told in winter AND why mixed feelings about the Garden of 1000 Buddhas, I am assuming because of its placement but that is MY assumption. Sorry one more question; do people visit Reservations like they are National Parks? If so, (opps another question)is that annoying or does it feel like they are trying to learn and understand? This is along the same lines of my previous question in a previous newsletter/blog about whether or not white people attend or participate in Powows and if so how is that received.
Simply magnificent. I stumbled across your Substack recently via a backroad, and although I am already subscribed to far too many content makers, I couldn't resist. It's just one more, right? The photos, the history, the love of horses. Yeah, I like it here.
MORE please!!
Captions are just right.
Well done.

Magnificent, truly. Each photo feels like a poem.
Beautiful. I have been through the area, but not for many years, so this was a much-needed reminder of a place that feels like home. Thank you Chris.

Would you care to elaborate on your mixed feelings about the Buddha garden? It feels out of place to me.

Thank you, Chris. There is such majesty and beauty, history and community, in these photos.
Oh Montana, captured as it used to be. _Lorelei
