First Nations Crow Tribal Reservation On the Plains of Montana

in #photography7 years ago

The eastern plains of Montana along the border of the First Nations Crow Reservation lay peacefully under a sky of cotton-puff clouds. On the bottom left of the image, that tiny squiggly line is the Rosebud Creek. & You can follow it up to where it joins the Stillwater River and in the distance, you can almost make out where it flows into the Yellowstone River.  

This location is very close to the scene of a fierce battle known as  the “Battle of the Rosebud”. Here is a great article on the battle if  you are interested in finding out more about it: http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1382.html 

I lensed this while exploring the area northeast of the Black Hills area of South Dakota after I had ventured north into Montana from South Dakota. The world from this vantage point takes on a completely different set of colors as ambient refraction and reflection mix hues from the sky with the colors of the earth. I love it!


This image is from my ongoing project in which I am trying to raise awareness of the 47% of the USA and 90% of Canada that remain unpopulated wilderness.   

Where Eagles Fly - The American Wilderness Expedition is my personal mission to introduce people to these amazing locations that surround us.

Hi @skypilot Great photo! It is crazy that 47% of the U.S. and 90% of Canada is wilderness. Almost unbelievable....Alaska is pretty empty. Thank you.

Always great photograph

Love it!! Thanks for taking the time to show and tell us about it.
