This picture was shot on highway 28 east, south of Dubois, Wyoming. We are driving along Wind river, leaving the plains of Fremont county to the Teton mountains. We went through a big temperature-drop that day : from 39° C (in the plains of Nebraska) to 0°c (Union pass, Wyoming) in 24 hours (6pm to 6pm). The Wind river is getting smaller and the ranches and cattle are followed by thick fir forests.
Leaving Seattle on the Bremerton Ferry. Seagulls take advantage of the air currents and glide along the boat, looking on the way at this strange passenger with his third bulky eye...
The rainiest night of the trip. This is British Columbia and it pours every day. The Maple Leaf Motel near Oliver, B.C. will be our home tonight. Like often in British Columbia, the fog covers beautifully the upper half of the mountains.
As we pulled into a gas station for a refill in Utah, I stretched out my legs to the back of the place and saw this gem: a rusted tank with "no parking" on it, and the desert landscape in the back. This was somewhere near Delle, Utah (on the south side). This is a region with vast expanses of desert with military zones where service areas are not always on the map.
This was on a friday, in Laramie, Wyoming. There was a farmers market in the open under a bright sunshine near the train station. We bought great red round radishes there. Interstate 80 and the railroad tracks are the arteries of the region. We did not drive on the Laramie mountains back roads, but it will be for another trip...
This picture was shot on Memorial Day in Daniel, Wyoming. Daniel is a sleepy little place with a few houses, an antique out-of-use gas station and these nice cars. I had to wait a couple of minutes for the light wind to unfurl the flag (my contribution).
Ermit's house in paradise. Prime location with the view on the mountains, the smells of the desert and the noise of the wind when it brushes the weeds...
This was near Lamont, Wyoming.
Another home in paradise, sort of. This was in the Angel Lake RV park in Wells Nevada. The evening air was brisk and the conditions were perfect to enjoy the last sunlight on the mountains. The following night was refreshingly cold.
