This one caught just the right light, didn’t it? I love taking pictures of these, and this one was particularly photogenic. It was a spur of the moment trip which brought me here, even though I’d been here before, and the conditions were better than I’d ever encountered at this spot.

I mark all my photo locations in my handheld GPS so I can refer to them later. This spot is a prime example of why I do this. I’ve been here on sunny days before, but there wasn’t anything particularly inspiring about this angle. But in this sunset light, however, it took on a whole new personality. It pays to track these things and come back to a certain spot when the time – and light – is right.

I was doing some drone work north of Bismarck-Mandan and found myself heading past Regan as the sun began to set. Naturally I popped in for a visit to the old jail, since I’ve always found this little building interesting. Besides, this is the best lighting condition I think I’ve ever had for a brief photo visit!

I saw this footer on the front page of the February 18th issue of the BismarCk Tribune. This is a little embarassing…omitting the “c” in Bismarck? It’s literally in the name of the newspaper, after all. But ya gotta cut ’em a little slack, I suppose…
