Rock Formations | The Ranch The Ranch is a 5,900 acre ranch converted into a residential ranch community. Located in the Horseshoe Hills of southern Montana, it has stunning views and ranch style living. A short walk up to Castle Rock always yields a few good images. For the whole story with all images, see Rock Formations | a 7 Image Story.
Panoramas | Gallatin River Ranch The Gallatin River Ranch is a 5,900 acre ranch converted into a residential ranch community. Located in the Horseshoe Hills of southern Montana, it has stunning views and ranch style living. Again, this image was stitched from several images captured in landscape mode, then cropped to smooth the edges. For the whole story with all images, see Panoramas | a 7 Image Story.
Panoramas | a 7 Image Story A great pano provides real context to the story; particularly if the story is about landscape. These images were all stitched, but many newer cameras provide the capability to capture a pano in the camera. Sure there are some limitations. Still, they can make some nice images. By capturing vertical images and stitching them together, a larger pano can be produced. For the purest, panos can be challenging. Most of my panos were cropped after stitching to smooth the edges.
Each image will be posted individually this week under category Panoramas.

Moonrise over the Gallatin River It’s also as peaceful as it gets in the lower 48. All you hear is the water and the gravel under your feet as you walk along the road.
Sunset on the ranch with mountains in the background; it’s always gorgeous.
The Ranch This image looks southwest from the ranch with the fertile farming valley in the background and the hills of the ranch in the foreground.
Several of my associates and some family have begun to refer to me as Montana Hank. Hopefully, the people of the great state of Montana will not be too offended. They seem to want a portrait of me in my Montana garb. So, this image shows me acting like I’m from Big Sky Country. Perhaps, it should be labeled farmer goes to the ranch, Montana style. My brother did the honors.
Around the Ranch The ranch’s southern boundary lies along the Gallatin River. Color along the river abounds this timer of year. This image was captured just before the sun set over the Tobacco Root Mountains. Nice ending to a nice day.
