Day into night, our sky
is different. We are called “Big Sky Country.” Maybe there is some exaggeration in
that. Perhaps other skies occupy the
same wall space. But our sky is deeper. Here, there exists a rare clarity of view. During the day, you can stand at one end of
the sky and see all the way across to the other. Given the time, you can watch a single cloud sail
from edge to edge. At night, the stars
spray against you like seawater splashed up from the mountains.
We enjoyed unruffled
skies all day, yesterday. The calm remained
as the sun dropped across the Rocky Mountains.
The sky repainted itself in new colors second by second. I found myself trotting outside to capture
images. Posted today are three photographs
I captured.
