Evening light on a lake between brown hills outside Helena, Montana

Evening outside Helena

Evening light outside Helena, Montana, in June 2023. The water sat tucked down between brown hills, a dirt track ran off through the sagebrush and tall grass, and a rocky ridge stacked up on the right. It was around 63, with a clear sky at that hour, though a little breeze was still coming through.

I just stood there and looked at the water and the hills. Helena sits in a wide bowl of mountains, and this was a quiet evening on the edge of town.
