Air Above Mountains (Buildings Within)
Still backtracking ... this image shot last week while on vacation at Glacier National Park in Montana at the Glacier Park Lodge. The view from our window. The title above borrowed from a Cecil Taylor album title of the same name. The Pre de Provence purchased at Merz Apothecary at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago.



Headed up Going to the Sun Road in a 1937 (or was it 1936?) White (the manufacturer) red (the actual color of the vehicle) Jammer bus. FordMoCo refurbished the entire fleet of buses a few years ago. The ride and the view is tremendous even on a foggy, rainy day. Sadly the weather only permitted open-top motoring for a few glorious miles. A must see place for anyone visiting Montana. A peak experience to experience these peaks.

A peek at the bus.

It's my brother's old meteor. I don't know if it runs any more, I'll have to ask him. Back in the day it was his daily driver.
