This was taken April 9, 2011 west of Missoula, Montana USA on the Clark Fork River. The camera is looking north and east at Montana Snowbowl Ski Area and the Rattlesnake Wilderness Area. It was a gorgeous spring day and the fishing was good.
Thank you John, I was surprised not to have more comments. I think the “weather” in this photo is amazing and having the river, bottom land and mountains in the view, nice place to be on a cold spring day. I appreciate your appreciating this one.
Bravo! I thought the image is just another painting. How I wish I can visit places like this someday. I want to see the changing color of the trees’ leaves. And watch the snow covered mountains. I’m happy looking at this, even in pictures. I hope to see some more of your shots soon.
You can, just get in a boat (with a friend or hire a fishing trip with us – or bribe us) and float, in this case, the Clark Fork west of Missoula. There are so many beautiful rivers in western Montana. The Flathead is one of our favorites. This was in the early spring, you must be brave and dress warm to see this scene.

Wonderful shot with great rain clouds…it reminds me of the song lyrics…He was born in the Bitterroot Valley in the early morning rain
Wow, what song was that? Love it. Thank you Wendy.

It was a John Denver song ‘Wild Montana Skies’ a great song to go with the great scenery!
This is awesome! My son took some nice photos of the Clark Fork, by Plains, but the stormy sky in this one really makes it a stunner.
Thanks, it was a very interesting day. We were actually very comfortable until we go to the take-out on the river…thank goodness.
