Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Snow on Pontiac

11/06/2021 Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Snow on Pontiac

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Snow on Pontiac    This Pontiac is living out its old age in a junk yard turned outdoor museum near Bozeman MT.  The snow fell earlier in the day.  It adds a certain realism to the plight of the Pontiac.  Some folks really like to capture photographs of old rusty cars.  It’s probably not my calling.  However, it makes for a fun shoot after a bit of snow.

The Back Story   This image was captured with a simple click while waling through the junk yard.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Nevada City Train

11/05/2021 Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Nevada City Train

Nikon D3x Bread Sticks | Nevada City Train    This old train is permanently parked outside the Nevada City train station.  The old mining camp of Nevada City started when gold was discovered nearby in 1863.  Nevada City was comprised mostly of miners working several nearby mining districts.  In the beginning, the mining district was part of the Idaho Territory.  In fact, until neighboring Virginia City became the Montana territorial capitol in 1865, there was no law except for the miner’s court.  Now, although this old west town has no residents, it’s maintained by folks in Virginia city.  It’s a cool place to visit in Montana.  For more information and images, see Nevada City | a 7 Image Story.

The Back Story   This image was captured with a simple click while walking by the train station.   Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
