The sun rises over the Rocky Mountains and a fishing boat on Flathead Lake in Montana. This is a photo of some Boy Scouts who got up to not only cast for fish but witness the spectacular morning sky with coloration augmented by wildfire smoke. By the end of the morning, scouts had caught Lake Trout, Pike Minnow, and Lake Superior Whitefish; credit toward the fishing merit badge.
This double rainbow over Flathead Lake may be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I only had a 35mm equivalent lens so this is a panorama comprised of 8 portrait exposures.

....is the largest natural freshwater lake in the western part of the contiguous United States. With a surface area of between 191.5 sq mi (496 km2) and 197 sq mi (510 km2), it is slightly larger than Lake Tahoe. The lake is a remnant of the ancient inland sea, Lake Missoula of the era of the last interglacial. Flathead Lake is 27.3 mi (43.9 km) long and up to 15.5 mi (24.9 km) wide. Its known maximum depth is 370.7 ft (113.0 m), making it deeper than the average depths of the Yellow Sea or the Persian Gulf. It is one of the cleanest in the populated world for its size and type.
I thank you for the comments and faves! Have a great day!

The Santa Fe unit helps tag this as post merger, although the proper Cascade Green SD40-2 is leading. A Pasco to Northtown train begins its eastward grind up Marias Pass at ConKelley, Montana just east of Columbia Falls.
She loves to hear the flathead engine
Roar Every time we cruise
We feel like we're in a parade
My engine gives us that sweet serenade
We never speed or break the law
We just like to hear
That engine "Waaaaaaaaaa"...

Sweet old Harley-Davidson 45 Flathead...
After working our way east and then back west along the MRL our last evening in Montana would be spent following the night gas west from Missoula. Are last evening would be a good one with great light, a train moving into the sunshine and good friends. With any kind of luck I can make another visit before too much changes. This is a shot looking across the Flathead River between Perma and Paradise. 8.17.22
My old stomping ground.
I grew up in Polson Montana. It is a small community located on the south shores of this lake in the beautiful state of Montana.
I used to water ski, ice skate, ice fish, swim, play ice hockey, and other activities on this lake.
For those who don't know, Flathead Lake is one of the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River.
Landscape near Ronan, Montana, USA. Modified in Lightroom/Photoshop, mainly peripheral desaturation, in order to increase the pastel-like impression.
A BN local serving the branch from Columbia Falls to Kalispell is photographed near the Glacier Park International airport on a beautiful October morning in 1993. Shortline Mission Mountain has served operated over this branch since 2004. The logs were likely headed to the Plum Creek mill at Kalispell. This GP30 started life as CB&Q 976.
Note the ice, stretching far out. In the 43 years I've lived here, it has been completely frozen over a time or two. Maybe this year, the way the winter is going.
Size: Flathead Lake covers an impressive 197 square miles (510 km²), making it the largest natural body of freshwater by surface area in the western United States.
Many Winters the entire lake will ice over on the top....quite a sight to see!!!! There are chunks of ice just knocking around out there now. You can hear them loud and clear too! :)
