Perhaps one of the most iconic photographs of Montana is a capture of Wild Goose Island at Saint Mary Lake along Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park. I have taken the photograph many times and seen it in prints and on screen many dozens of times.
When I walked into the house of an aunt and uncle
of Desiree, I was shocked to see what is nearly the same image in a painting,
but of someplace (presumably) in the Philippines. I am sharing a photograph of
the painting (a bit wonky due to avoiding reflections). I am also sharing an
image of Goose Lake. The resemblances are uncanny.
