September - Fall Evenings - #PilotFischer

Fall is a beautiful time in Montana even though the season can be short lived. The days get shorter and the nights cool off which offers up some better light for photographs.

August - Goat Lick Trestle - #PilotSchwartz

Montana has a number of different railroads running through the state and due to the terrain there are a number of trestle bridges to help cross rivers and valleys. Check out this view of Goat Lick Trestle near the town of Essex, MT which views into Glacier National Park.

March - Cathedral of Saint Helena - #PilotSchwartz

Constructed in 1908, the Cathedral of Saint Helena is easily recognized by its twin spires and the north tower contains fifteen hand-cast bells. It held its first mass in 1914 and survived a significant earthquake in 1935! The building was added to the national register of historic places in 1980 and stands to this day as a major icon in the queen city.
