\"\"<\/a>I took off work a little early today and roamed Morton County for a bit.\u00a0 I have to say that Morton County is one of the most beautiful parts of North Dakota (or, as I like to say, “Best Dakota”) due to its variety.\u00a0 But with all the smoke in the sky, however, it was not a really great photography day.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I found a few good shots…I will share them over time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here’s the first – the haze actually worked in my favor with this one.\u00a0 I figured I had to seek out a subject that would benefit from a drab grayish sky, and thankfully this red roof fit the bill.<\/p>\n

As for the post title, that comes from the song that my iPod appropriately served up via its shuffle feature (as it’s wont to do).\u00a0 A perfect, dreamy tune for the drive back to town under such dreary canopy, since I’d been craving some color in the sky all along.\u00a0 I think part of the feels I got from this song had to do with the realization that this part of Morton County was overrun by terrorists last year.\u00a0 Gonna be a while until that memory fades.<\/p>\n
