Yup. I do manage to get out in “ideal” weather conditions from time-to-time as on this splendid May day this year. Looking north, I’m poised on a 400-foot east bank precipice of the south-flowing Kootenai River about halfway between Katka, North Idaho and Yakt, West Montana. Though the proximate detectors can be heard on a good scanner, it’s near impossible to know when you’ll catch a train out "here." The outback of the Panhandle. There’s very little to no cell service. It’s two bits to 9, and I’ve been busy climbing over boulders, felled trees, down dropoffs to scope out the area for the past hour – probably more: easy to lose track of time when consumed with what one enjoys doing – to determine the most pleasing composition while achieving maximum image depth when one of the numerous detectors up around as many bends transmits its monotonous data and you know there’ll be some action shortly. Sure enough, an eastbound stack slowly sneaks, snakes and threads itself like a multi-colored serpent along rising crags of coniferous dense and the rippling deep blue zag-zig of the Columbia River’s uppermost 485-mile tributary below, and our wilderness walkabout is handsomely rewarded.

So I got in the car, put on some #johnnycash and headed into rural #southcarolina for a #sundaydrive hoping to capture some images of #timelessamericana . #ipulledoverforthis and anything that caught my eye. The #countryroads are full of abandoned buildings, discarded automobiles, green tobacco fields and #beautifuldecay . It felt good to be On The Road and On The Run again. I couldn't help but think that this landscape hasn't changed much since Jack and Neil wandered these roads in the 50's. I'll be featuring images from my #ruralexploration this week. "There's something in a Sunday that makes the body feel alone." Well at least until my family gets back from Oaxaca.
Alnitak, Alnilam, Mintaka, Saiph, and Rigel. Sound like an ancient spell? Possible. Arabic-stemming-names of constellation Orion bodies (top left). The latter star’s 279,000 times-as-bright as our sun’s luminosity has taken 863 light-years to reach the human eye. And, as the Hunter travels the southern night sky in perpetual unperturbed search of his prey, here, on terra firma, the small hours of another day find an eastbound Eastern Washington Gateway movement going head-to-head with a vaporous, otherworldly apparition - Orion's Ghost - just west of Creston.
