Great Falls, Montana

|
up on the airport's hill; view at dusk
|
 |
|
exterior of the office that I am employed by
|
 |
|
the hotel I stayed at on my first trip; O'Haire Motor Inn
|
 |
|
hallway right outside of my hotel room
|
 |
|
exterior of the O'Haire's lounge; the Sip Dip. This bar was voted the #1 lounge in America by some magazine; I think GQ
|
 |
|
interior of the Sip n' Dip. very 'Fear & Loathing'esque. Behind the bar is a window into the swimming pool; actually, I think that's its main attraction!
|
 |
|
shot of Rodger Dam from the park right in front of it
|
 |
|
river road; leads to the first fall (of Great Falls)
|
 |
|
the first fall of Great Falls
|
 |
|
fish hatchery (no swimming!)
|
 |
|
one of Great Falls' parks
|
 |
|
and another park
|
 |
|
dangerous picture taking above the falls
|
 |
|
river; just after Rodger Dam
|
 |
|
river near the springs

I think this is a statue of Louis and Clark.....memory's fading. Great Falls is one of the locations where they stopped; there is an extensive museum about their expedition on the north-east side of town.
|
 |
|
at the park where the statue was located
|
 |
|
another park shot
|
 |
|
downtown Great Falls....very postcard'esque. Downtown gets pretty deserted at 5.
|
 |
|
looking in certain nooks and crannies (I hope I spelled "cranny" correctly), the town almost feels like it's still in the 40's or something
|
 |
|
statue in the middle of Downtown. Don't remember who it's of; it was about to rain, and I was in a hurry.
|
 |
|
a very big, very old style post office... the rain is coming as you can see!
|
 |
|
just a nice spot, nothing more
|
 |
|
leaving Great Falls for a day, to see some of the surrondings. Driving and picture-taking, and I'm still alive
|
 |
more scenery on my day's drive.
This was the snow from the day before.
|
 |
|
Went to a small town outside of Great Falls called Niehart. Very small and quiet. Hopefully no new unibombers are being raised here. |
 |
|
on the day I left; view of the town from the airport hill... and that's Great Falls
