Typical Montana ...

I'm not sure what people would think a "typical Montana scene" is today ... the mountains, perhaps, or a ski hill, or maybe the Unibomber's cabin. But here's an early twentieth-century postcard with an interpretation that I really like.

There's no indication of where this was taken, at all -- somewhere in he southeast part of the state, I'd guess. But the photo has lots of great detail (some of it perhaps drawn in), and the hand-tinting of the scene is pretty cool.
