Today's "From the Files" 03-30-26:
Bannack Ghost Town. Bannack State Park, Montana, MT. 2009 #davidgardnerphotography #lightight #landscape #buildings #ghosttown #bannack #bannackstatepark #montana #mt
Deep, dark blue Grasshopper Creek, which was jumping with swifts and swallows diving and darting for insects on the surface. The background is low, sagebrush and green hills and early spring green peeking to through the yellow and gold of last year's grasses.
Old home, in a state of arrested decay, the elm trees and blue sky reflected in the glass of the front window.
Bannack Road, the main drag, with old buildings and towering trees.
My T, my love, sitting on the bank of Grasshopper Creek.
#Bannack, #Montana. Took a hell of a flood back in 2017, but thanks to the #publicservants of the #BLM and local state parks, she's still there for us to enjoy.
While the town is amazing, it was Grasshopper Creek & its bank swallows that took me back and brought me peace. #ghosttown #photo #travel

#Lichens are plant-like organisms that grow on surfaces like rocks & trees. They are actually a combination of two living things: a fungus & an alga, living together in a partnership.

#Bannack is a historic gold rush town. It's the site of Montana’s 1st major gold discovery (1862)
Bannack is not a dead #GhostTown but a living testament for current/future generations to understand how far we’ve come
