Hermann: I spent five nights in the Sam Peckinpah Suite of the Murray Hotel a few years ago while fly fishing the Yellowstone and some Spring creeks. Traveled though Butte many times on my way to my Grandfather's ranch. You've caught the sense of those places in a unique, sparse, European, aesthetic. Beautifully expressive. Please continue. :salute:...
In order to make amends for yesterday's "birthday OTs" (thank you moderators for the generosity!) a few more pictures from my visit to the US. We're in Montana now, very high skies, old important (and in former, better times prosperous) cities and very nice people (as in the other states we travelled as well) - chapter 2:
"Downtown Promenade", N 2nd St, Livingston, MT
D 700, 14-24mm/2.8G @ 18mm & f/5.6
"Teslow Grain", Livingston, MT
D 700, 14-24mm/2.8G @ 16mm & f/2.8
BTW: In hindsight I found out, that this motif is a "quotation" of a picture Lee Friedlander shot for his series "America by Car" in the '90s.
"Mayoral Race", W Mercury St, Butte, MT
D 700, 14-24mm/2.8 G @ 17mm & f/6.3
And no, this one is not a quotation of pictures taken for Wim Wenders' "Don't come knocking", though Butte was the most important location for this movie.
To be continued, as you like ...
Thank you for your interest.
PS: like the shot, but, maybe, I miss a bit of the right side of the Empire's marquee.
Cheers, Matt

Rayyan: It's a great pity, that there are only a few (aside the great Leica series of course :thumbs
, but this one is very nice and, as Matt stated, as usual terrific PP! :salute:But BTW: Donkeys/burros/mules, a kind of a variation though, may play a role in my report as well later on ...

Lloyd, Rayyan, Steve, Jørgen: Thanks a lot, gentlemen, for your kind words and encouragement, very much appreciated!
Matt: Thanks for your kind response and encouragement and particularly thanks a lot for the feedback and hints, helpful as always and very much appreciated!
So as an excursion and in order to refresh your memories of Livingston a short walkabout around West Park Street and 2nd Street (Murray Hotel, I can see vacancy, maybe for the Sam Penckinpah Suite in particular
and the complete sign of the Empire's + multiple reflections ).
All with D 700, 14-24mm/2.8G @ 24 mm & f/5.6, # 2 @ 21 mm, # 5 @ 15 mm

Hermann, these sets are wonderful. Rich vibrant colors and compositions.
More importantly, they bring back memories of famous photographers and
their treatment of journeys across America.
My hats off for this masterful set of images. A book maybe?
Really well done.:salute:

Hermann...dude...nicely done with the Idaho series. They're so visually interesting, and there's something real and grounded about them.
i remember driving through Idaho a few summers ago, on the way to seattle from beaver, UT, and thinking it was a beautiful place in its own little way. at the time there were rolling green hills and deep blue skies with poofy white clouds. (incidentally, at the rest stop we stopped at to use the restrooms, i got a call from my manager and was fired, for actually taking the vacation they had approved, not kidding. lol)
