Mark: Talk about Big Sky country! I can only imagine how tough it would be there in the winter. I like this scene, especially the spotllit aspen grove on the hillside. Almost makes me want to be there.>=))>

This is a lovely scene and is almost classic.  I imagine that there might be some trout in nearby rivers or creeks.  On small nit is that some of the buildings appear to be slightly tilted.  Is this just my eyes or would a small amount of CCW rotation be in order?

Excellent image of this attractive Montana ranch, Mark. Lots of interesting and attractive elements, even a windmill, in very nice light.

Hey Mark,
Well seen and presented, all that's missing is John Wayne standing in the foreground. I do agree with the slight bit of CCW rotation assessment already mentioned.
Well done . . .  devil

Beautiful landscape and the ranch in the foreground actually adds some interest and scale to the image, Mark.
