Hells Bells Are Ringing An abondened grain elevator in Southern Montana - for me, they are the Cathedrals of the prairie. For some reason, Hells Bells Are Ringing by Josephine Foster is my recommended song for delving into this picture… #photography #bluesky #montana #grainelevators #americana

Traveling Lights Scenery in the northern prairie. A truck underneath the Big Sky, which is providing a beautiful light. Found it traveling around… The title is a song by Leonard Cohen. #photography #bigsky #bluesky #montana #prairie

You want it darker A rural scenery with a Grain Elevator in Montana. In fact it is a row of five elevators, sadly they are not active anymore. You want it darker (Paul Kalkbrenner Remix) is the perfekt song for looking at that scenery. #photography #bluesky #montana #americana

My 2024 Trip through Minnesota, Montana and the Dakotas… it was amazing!

How’s it Gonna End A Smalltown which turned into a Ghost Town after railroad closed in the 80‘s. The try to make an attraction out of it failed. So that makes you thinking of How‘s it Gonna End (Tom Waits) Listen to it while delving into the pic. #photography #smalltown #northernplains #bluesky
