Today's photo is one that's always seemed kind of festive and holiday-like to me, even though that really isn't the subject matter at all. These are the lights in the lobby of Lake McDonald Lodge in Glacier Park ... a shot I took back in May 2005, right after the hotel had opened for the season.
Okay, I'm just going over the backpages of your blog, that I just discovered. Your photo from May of 2005 is similar to one I took in the same place in 2009. How did I discover this blog anyway? I can't remember, even a day later, but we seem to have similar sensibilities where photography is concerned...maybe it was when I was looking for pictures of the North Fork country, or a 1965 Chevy 3/4 ton truck.
This is actually a photo that means a lot to me ... I was a summer employee at Lake McDonald Lodge for six seasons, way back in the late 70s and early 80s. A truly wonderful experience, and it turned me into a Montanan, to boot!
And the North Fork is some of my very favorite country in the world ... if I could, I think I'd retire there tomorrow. I spent a fair amount of time up there last summer, so expect to see more photos of Polebridge and vicinity very soon.
I'm a professional historian, though my real passions lie in the art of photography and the freedom of travel. Armed with camera and backpack, I've visited all fifty of the US states ... and a total of 65 countries on six continents.
