“Mayfly,” taken by Patrick at the Salt Lake City Airport. Patrick writes, “for someone about to get on a plane and fly away from the caddis hatches and hoppers, this is torture.”
“Curtain of Smoke” taken by Katie LaSalle-Lowery. This was snapped at Pelican Creek, just east of the Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone National Park just as the Arnica Fire was growing. As LaSalle-Lowery writes, “The smoke was streaking eastward across the sky in a distinct plume rather than dispersing and making a fog of smoke. The plume filtered the sunlight, casting a warm color tone on everything yet blue sky could be seen around the plume.”
“Volcano Valley,” by Nancy Newell, taken in New Mexico from Highway 550, looking southwest toward Cabezon.
“Edge of time” by Erin Alberty (link opens blog post with story) taken at McConkie Ranch near Vernal, Utah.
Editor’s Note: High Plains Films, the Missoula-based non-profit documentary shop responsible for such films as Libby, Montana and Brave New West is offering a film clip each week here on our pages. This week, High Plains Films is showcasing the third in a series of clips from the one-hour their one-hour documentary, El Caballo: The Wild Horses of North America. Click on the video to watch and see Doug Hawes-Davis’ description below.
Dan Flores, professor of history at the University of Montana, talks about the decimation of wild horses across the American West during the late 19th Century and early 20th Century. Before working on the film, we really knew very little about the subject, but once we were involved we found it a fascinating story of evolution, history, ecology and environmental policy. The film is edited by Dru Carr. It is directed and produced by Doug Hawes-Davis. The original score by Ned Mudd, most of which is available for free download at www.highplainsfilms.org.
