Nature Photo Challenge Day #1

Yesterday, I accepted a challenge through Facebook to post—for the next seven days—a nature photograph each day.  The photographs must be taken by me.  I will not attempt to take a new photograph each day.  Instead, I will post some of my favorite photographs.  Most of these photos have been posted previously, but they are my personal favorites.

All photographs will be from somewhere in Montana.

For day one, I have selected a photograph I titled “Another Kind of Sky.”  I captured this image on a blustery summer day in 2008.  The photograph was taken from the shore of Lake Sherburne in the Many Glacier area of Glacier National Park. 

Lake Sherburne is fed by the fresh mountain waters of Swiftcurrent Creek.  All the mountains in this section of the park seem as if freshly hacked from stone with a sharp axe.  The Many Glacier area is also a likely place to sight grizzly bears.
