Thanks for this thread. It's nice to see Montana sometimes, it's got some wicked beauty. It's too bad parts of it are run-down. I've been to most of the cities you've been to, but I didn't visit them as extensively as you have. In fact, I think the only downtown's of the cities I've visited are Great Falls and Billings. I also like the quality of hte photos, they are very sharp .

I love Montana!
|
Wow, such a beautiful state and such haunting isolation. This thread is a perfect contrast to all the city threads, and two :cheers: for a job well done.
|
Wow, what a great thread! I don't think I've ever seen Helena before. Montana has some nice cities. Thanks for sharing!
|
Great thread! My father loves Montana and I'm sure he'd relocate there if my mother ever agreed to it.
|
Very nice! Love the western US. Looks quite hazy, perhaps from distant fires?
|
Ya done good!
|
Great thread! These Montana towns and cities look like they would be cool to explore. These places look so much different than the Northeast or Midwest or Southeast or Western places that usually get shown on here. I don't know how to describe it; it's not run-down, it's kind of forgotten but not really, it's not completely different from places like Colorado or Utah, but it's all unique.
Does the road just end at Sweetgrass, like it appears to do in your picture? That Reeder's Alley area looks interesting, as well as Nevada City. |
This tour made my evening. Love those wide-open roads and big skies. Very well done.

Really, there isn't too much of Sweetgrass left...it is a dying town with a few ramshackle houses and the Glocca Morra. Ironically, Coutts, Alberta is fairly well kept and seemed to be a healthy small town. I have quite a few more pictures of Nevada City that I may post later when I have more time to upload. It's a really interesting town/museum with original period artifacts in most of the buildings. Some of the buildings are original to the town, but many others were moved there from other areas around the state, and nearly every building has been untouched except to stabilize them. |
Incredible thread. Montana seems to do a good job of thwarting sprawl. All the cities look fairly dense for their size. For instance, the largest of the cities there was Billings, at around 100,000 and a metro of only 150,000ish.

Excellent thread!!! I have made my way around a few parts of Montana. You captured it well.
|
great pictures. you make montana look good. nice little tour and good mix of urban and scenic nature shots.
|
montana is amazing. everytime i drive through it, i'm amazed!
|
Beautiful state. I've spent a lot of time there (well, it's been 25 years). Do you have some pics of the beautiful mountainous areas of western Montana; e.g., Glacier National Park?

Excellent photo work, first of all, and quite a contrast between the cities and the countryside. The cities (Billings and Great Falls particularly) have quite an urban look about them, at least Montana-style urban you might say, that I wouldn't have expected. Haven't been there, but this thread makes me want to visit.
