POTD: Caught in the Middle

/ Leave a Comment

Caught in the Middle
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
2019

This is technically a POTD rerun of sorts as I recall photographing this rock stuck in the roots of a tree a number of years ago and posting it on this blog. If I could easily put my hands on that post it would make an interesting comparison, both in the image composition as well as the title I chose for it. But alas my indexing of posts is quite poor so I doubt I could find it easily.

POTD: No Service

No Service
Jeffrey City, Wyoming
2019

The Catholic Church in Jeffrey City on a Sunday morning. No sign of a service happening that day, which is perhaps largely explained by the fact that Jeffrey City is no more than a ghost town these day–only a few stragglers hanging on after the mines closed down some years ago.

POTD: The Wolf Point Bridge

/ 2 Comments

The Wolf Point Bridge
Wolf Point, Montana
2019

The Wolf Point Bridge over the Missouri River (a.k.a. the Lewis and Clark Bridge), finished in 1930 was at the time, still is, and probably will always be (because they’re not building bridges like this anymore) the longest and most massive riveted through truss bridge in Montana. It is 1,074 feet long and contains 1,150 tons of steel. Highway traffic no longer uses this bridge as a new one of more modern design was constructed next to it. There are bike/walking paths leading to both ends of the bridge but for some reason the ends of the bridge have been fenced off. That suggests it may have structural problems but it still looked quite sound to me, especially compared to the one I had recently crossed outside of Terry, Montana.
