Big Sky Cattle Guard - Livingston, Montana

You know you're in Montana when: the Interstate exit ramp has a cattle guard imbedded just before the stop sign. 

For the unfamiliar, cattle guards are often located at critical roadway junctures amidst wide open grazing lands.

Please note: Today's photo is not that particular cattle guard - nor is it our Interstate.

Clouds Round About, Corvallis, Montana

This cloudscape brought to mind a snatch of song:
"Clouds are round about You, Shadows veil Your eyes..."
contributed by Steve Hindalong (The Choir) to a favourite compilation album.
