Leand(e)r - Downtown Missoula, Montana

"...Vail'd to the ground, veiling her eyelids close; 

And modestly they opened as she rose. 
Thence flew Love's arrow with the golden head; 

And thus Leander was enamoured. 
Stone-still he stood, and evermore he gazed, 

Till with the fire that from his count'nance blazed 

Relenting Hero's gentle heart was strook: 
Such force and virtue hath an amorous look. ..." 

- from Hero And Leander by Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)

Road Sign, Stevensville, Montana

An old car is never just a piece of junk - it might be a restorable classic, or part of an eye-catching advertisement, or even a play-space where creative youngsters travel beyond the farmyard, limited only by their imagination. Montana has always been a land of inventive entrepeneurs, taking what they have to make something else. Given that Stevensville, Montana, is the first settlement in the state, its no surprise that the original can-do attitude is alive and well here.
