  • An open stretch of two-lane highway in Glacier National Park. The lines lead into the distance and then around a turn.
  • Three alder trees standing alone in a meadow in Glacier National Park. The white bark provides natural contrast to the background.

  • A hanging glacier, or an ice field, that is located on the cliff walls over Iceberg Lake in Glacier National Park. Due to global warming, these glaciers are rapidly disappearing.
  • One hiker walking towards Iceberg Lake in Glacier National Park. The headwall of the valley is a perfect bowl formed by cliffs with hanging glaciers; the ice calves off to form icebergs in the lake.
  • The mountains surrounding Iceberg Lake in Glacier National Park. The lake is not visible but is just under the glaciers visible on the cliffs. Two hikers are coming down the trail from the lake.
  • The headwall of the cirque that looms over Iceberg Lake. The cliffs on the mountains form a perfect ampitheater around the lake. Shadows from clouds provide contrast. In black and white.
  • A front headlight detail on one of the grand old red buses from Ford at Glacier National Park.
  • A wood suspension bridge provides a somewhat precarious crossing over a stream in Glacier National Park.
  • The lower portion of Twin Falls waterfall in Glacier National Park. Taken with a long exposure, the water shows the patterns formed as it falls across the rocks.
  • Scenic view of Lower Twin Falls in Glacier National Park with the waterfall set between the rock walls of the stream bed. A long exposure smooths the water and shows the full shape of the falls.
  • Scenic view of Two Medicine Lake and some of the nearby mountains in Glacier National Park.
  • Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. The headwall of the valley is in the background with several waterfalls that are cascading down the cliffs from glaciers above.
  • Landscape of Avalanche Lake and nearby mountains in Glacier National Park. The reflection on the lake provides a near mirror image.

  • A nanny mountain goat (oreamnos americanus) close-up that surprised me from about ten feet away as I turned around a corner of a trail. The mountain goat, also known as the Rocky Mountain Goat, is a large-hoofed mammal found only in North America.
  • Three mountain goats moving down from a cliff to some grazing area. The mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus), also known as the Rocky Mountain Goat, is a large-hoofed mammal found only in North America. It resides at high elevations and is often seen on cliffs that predators cannot reach.
  • A nanny Rocky mountain goat (oreamnos americanus) in profile looks alarmed but is only burping. Sometimes called the Rocky Mountain ghost, this large-hoofed mammal found only in North America lives at high elevations and is often seen on rock ledges that predators cannot reach.
