Moving on.....

As we move across the country, and at the moment the pace is high. The change in the land around is is sometime gradual, sometime quick but there is a constant new scene in front and to the side of us.

As a photographer its almost impossible not to pull over and try to capture some of the amazing scenes that open up.  Those that know photography will also know that time is one of the things needed.

Firstly to be there at the right time of day, dawn or dusk preferred,  and also to spend time taking the shot that 'fits the bill'. Neither of those needs are always available so it's a challenge to get it right.

Good to find the photo that fits the light and time though.

We are now heading across Nebraska. Off the high prairie and into a more recognisable type of farming, its beef, and fattening beef and growing corn, maize as the Brits would have it, along with this goes wheat and beans.

The area have changed due to the good roads and the modern, huge, truck.  The towns have also changed but I have to admit to being surprised to come across this town.  But is what not all it seemed...


Some true but not all, it seems the town, Johnstown,  was used as a film set and was 'put back' to how it would have been in 1890, so there we have. That was a few years ago, but still looks like it did when the actors went home!

What was genuine was the welcome given in the only bar in town. The L-Bow Bar is owned by Ruth and Bud      Ruth was very happy to be photographed and was keen to know all about the mission.




So now its less of this:


and more of this...


Have a good day

  1. As always Bruce I love the photos and descriptions of what you've all seen, done and enjoyed each day, Tom I am impressed with how well the beard is coming along (Bruce more of the beard please!) and finally Alvon love the handstands...a trick I never mastered!
