I checked store original on every pic but it's not working properly. I love SD. Sunflower fields for as far as the eye can see.
The clouds and the mountains change through each state. I love it! I have a thing for train tracks and I have shots of train tracks from every state I have been to...actually there's nothing I won't shoot everything is a moment I want to capture.
Great set. Thanks for sharing it.

I like your Captures. Good Advice. #3 Capture I hope was brought up close with a Lens. I understand that they “do not like people in their space”. I would like to be able to talk to the old buildings and get their stories. Thank you

Very nice set recording your travel experiences.
Great set, love the wide open spaces.
I love your photos. I have a friend who is also fascinated with train tracks. He collects RR track spikes, each is labeled where & when he found it; I don't know if he has every state yet. Do you have more RR photos posted somewhere I could access, and send a link to my RR enthusiast friend? Thanks for the photos!

One of my favorite places. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work on all of these--they remind me of my visit there a few years ago.

Thank you and yes it was. Every Reservation I go to the first thing I do is find the elders and the Medicine Man. This was on the Blackfoot Reservation. I went to SD to find my friend who had passed early 2017 who was Lakota Sioux, at Standing Rock. I was given permission to search the Cemetery for his grave. I have met such wonderful Natives and The Cherokee welcomed me as sister and I visit every year. I have learned how to collect shells and how to make Wampum from the silversmith on the Cherokee Reservation in NC. I was fortunate enough to be taught how the Navajo find the Turquoise cut it and polish it. I now own a rock tumbler in which I polish all my stones I find. I will have to find a pic of my first attempt. I will put a series together from all my visits.
I too love old buildings, abandoned ones especially. I have this app for here in WV where I can park beside a old building and see who owns it and I contact them to see if I can get permission to photograph the house. Summertime is bad as I have a phobia fear of snakes. Old churches love those too and have hundreds of pics from across the country.
