A field in Montana

This picture was taken on a 8/12/2003 during a trip through North Dakota and Montana. I’d gone up there to take pictures of locations used in the movie Northfork. I found this field when I was driving a backroad between Pompey’s Pillar and the Battle of Little Bighorn Monument.

I wish I could have captured the fields swaying in the wind. It looked like waves on an ocean. This enormous, empty field is full of so much promise. Anything can happen there. That’s one of the things I really like about the West. No matter how messed up things get I always feel like there’s a fresh start waiting just in case I need it.
