Blue sky envy

Christine January 21st, 2009

This is the blue sky of Helena, our State Capitol,  just a tad over the mountains from us.   I documented this cloudless wonder last weekend.  Blue sky which we  do not have, but it is certainly up there .  We are still wallowing around in fog here at home and it is now day eight… or maybe day 90, I don’t remember.  I won’t go into any details how extended periods of low cloud cover can whittle away at one’s ability to function in full sun. The locals were quite smug about their grotesquely inappropriate allotment of sun rays this winter.  Quite smug indeed.  Something about:  “That’s what you fruitcakes in western Montana get.”

This is  a building on the campus of Carroll College; they say it is haunted.  Well, it does not look haunted right now, but in this sun who could tell?  Whoooo~~~~

Sunlight also causes interesting patterns to simply pop out at one.  I know, this is a weird picture due to photon overload.

And here the sky is still blue whether or not you mix upper case with lower case.  This is rather a confused version of what makes a good sign.  Nature is very forgiving sometimes.

Old town Helena

Christine May 7th, 2008

Three interesting facts about Montana’s State Capitol:
~The town was originally named “Crabtown”.  (Eeeww)
~In 1888, 50 millionaires lived in Helena having made their fortunes in the Montana Gold Rush.
~Helena is also the home of Carroll College, one of the nation’s top rated private schools.
