We started out in Idaho, and visited a site my husband was interested in, not far from Twin Falls where we stayed. This particular site represents a sordid part of America’s history, when people of a particular national origin were confined in concentration camps, because of their ancestry. The place was Minidoka, a “relocation camp” …
Todays drive was from Billings to Missoula, west along I-90. It was a cloudy day all the way, with flashes of sunshine, and some rain showers. Please be advised that all the photos below were taken from the passenger seat of a car going 80mph most of the way. Leafless trees, near Billings One of …

Another in the Elements series. If these photos aren't Fire, I don't know what is. This is Earth's Primordial Fire, the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii in July of 2018. This lava formed in the literal fires at the center of our planet, and the movements of the tectonic …
