I agree.That would make for a fine painting.
That is the north road where it splits from the highway north/northwest out of Bill, WY.That would make for a fine painting.
Maybe for your wanderlust too.I guess I can blame her for the millions of photos I snap everywhere I go.
Lube doors
Lube speedo and cable
Thanks Don. It makes a big difference.Two things which only one in a thousand guys actually DO. Bravo!
Bit easier in the digital age , as we can delete those photos that ain't quite right ,,,I agree.
My Mother actually spent most of my life painting western landscapes with oil, had works on display around North America and Europe. Sadly, those days are over. The paintings are still out there, but it took a certain mindset to get the shots for the composition and then the quiet time to recreate them on canvas.
I can remember exploring the flint Hills of Kansas in the back of her first year Ford Explorer, all over the Oregon and Santa Fe trails, Wyoming, etc. while she shot millions of photos, waiting for the right light or mood. We went through tires like crazy, explored mountain passes, watched cowboys and farmers work the land and their . animals

Is there a bright side? Could your place be more valuable now, as a potential commercial development site? Or an attractive place for the employees of the new warehouse to live?Well fellas - the trip planning/prep hit a small snag. We moved into a new place in November, out in the country a little way from the town we lived in previously.
Well, the neighbor across the street sold out and the new owner is going to build a 1.2 million sq foot warehouse there, out in the country. The fight with the local government exhausted and lost. It has been a nasty few months.
So - we are selling and moving. Once everything is back under control we will return to our previously scheduled programming.
Time to look to the upside. If you think about the pioneers of this part of the country, and the westward expansion, droughts, confrontation, famine, hardships etc, this is nothing. Yeah it sucks, but we can move and find a different, eventually better place. Because of them we can all enjoy what we do today.
I could go for a fresh pipe full of tobacco and some shade under a cottonwood.
