Montana is known as Big Sky Country. But my ranch in Idaho sits next to the Continental Divide with Montana on the other side. So we get a lot of Big Skies too.
The sunsets quickly change from golden to fire before setting on the mountain horizon.
When it rains, sometimes one can see double or triple rainbows.
A stavkirke chapel on Washington Island, Wisconsin was lovingly built in the past half century by local residents who wanted to preserve and celebrate the Scandinavian heritage there.
I rode bikes around the island last weekend. This was the first time visiting the stavkirk chapel.
Inside there are faux painted marble pillars. There are also carved panels and altar.
There is a hand carved schooner hanging from the rafters in reference to the island community and heritage.
On the northern tip of Door County on the Peninsula in Wisconsin, in Lake Michigan, is Washington Island.
One has to ferry to the island.
There is a great and continuous history of fishing up here.
While beautiful now, quite cold and harsh come winter.
