WHITEFISH

AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE



LIKE A LOVER
THEY TOUCH MY FACE
CARESS MY SOUL
I STAND IN SILENCE
AND AWE
AS THEY DRIFT AROUND ME
LIFTING ME
TO INCREDIBLE HEIGHTS
LET ME BE THE EARTH
UPON WHICH THEY FALL
AS I DREAM UNDERNEATH
LET ME BE THE TREE
ACCEPTING THEIR WEIGHTLESSNESS
AS I BOW TO THEIR PRESENCE
LET ME BE THE CLOUD
PREGNANT WITH THEM
AS THEY WAIT TO BE BORN
LET ME BE THE WIND
THAT CARRIES THEM
DRIFTING

DOWN

TO

ME

LET ME BE ONE WITH THE SNOWFLAKE

PURITY

SIMPLICITY

PERFECTION



     
RIDING ON A SNOWMOBILE, I TOOK THESE PHOTOS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF WHITEFISH MOUNTAIN RESORT.

                                                  
AS THE SNOW BUILDS UP ON THE TREES, THE TREES BECOME SHAPES THAT ARE CALLED

SNOW GHOSTS

THE AMTRAK ROUTE FROM CHICAGO TO SEATTLE AND PORTLAND IS CALLED THE EMPIRE BUILDER.  I RODE IT FROM ST.PAUL TO WHITEFISH, A 20 HOUR RIDE THROUGHOUT THE NORTH, MOSTLY IN MONTANA.  SOME OF IT IS THROUGH FLAT NEARLY DESERTED AREAS, THEN IN THE MOUNTAINS IN THE WESTERN PART OF MONTANA.  THESE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN FROM THE TRAIN
