Yeah, they work nights

On my way home from an afternoon-evening photography trip, I saw something from Highway 83 that had me whipping the truck around and bolting down some gravel roads. I have a hiking model GPS and maps that show me section line roads and fun stuff like that, so I enjoy a good gravel road adventure. I was able to get very close to this site: a wind turbine whose blades were being unloaded from the transporters.

It was actually very windy, so I’m surprised I got nice clear shots. I’m also surprised that the crane operator could be as smooth as he was, given the fact that he’s lifting an eighty foot piece of carbon fiber that’s designed to catch wind. If the operator is a she, my apologies.

Boys’ night out

We three dudes decided to head across the river for a sunset bike ride by the blockhouses at Fort Abraham Lincoln. My 2 and 3 year old boys had an absolute blast, and Daddy got to play with the camera a little bit. We couldn’t have asked for e better evening; great weather, no bugs, and the place to ourselves! They pedaled and pedaled, Daddy pointed out various local landmarks out across the way, and it kept us all out of trouble until dark.
