sunset calms the soul

On the drive home, I was admiring what a nice afternoon it was. Got home and got a message Kris was going to be late. With no plans and an hour of daylight left, I raced to the hangar(nice to live 3 minutes away)

As I rolled Aurora out, I grabbed this quick phone pic before I nestled in. Man I love that paint job.


I decided to climb to Mt Baldy a run along the ridge. A little bumpy as I got close so I banked for the valley floor as I snapped another pic.


Visibility was only about 100miles today.


Once down near the deck I managed to find long shadows of wintering elk. Probably 500 or so in several groups.

To top off the evening, I had a beautiful sunset before I turned her toward home.


Not a bad way to spend a calm evening. Keep pounding them rivets.

Nice photos. Had family in the south Bitteroot valley, Darby. Love it there.

Sunset flights are enjoying pure peace.

Possible Trip back into your area

Last time through MT I drove right past your airport. If I'm driving between Helena and Bozeman again, I'll shoot you PM - maybe stop by for hanger flying?

Past 10 or 11:00 AM, we're lucky to get 5 miles of visibilty here in the Summer. Always enjoy your photos.

MT Baldy
