Prairie Dawn, by Anne Rohrer
It’s been far too long since I’ve reminded all of us to go visit Anne’s place. The woman is one of the most talented photographers I know, and her skill and artistry just keep increasing. I can’t look at her work without yearning for the Northern Rockies. Go look.
(I hope it’s OK, Anne, that I’ve posted a low-res version of one of your pieces here: I figure it’ll make sure a few hundred people visit your site.)
Update: Reader Steve F. emails a quibble, posted here with his permission:
Hi Chris. Love your blog. And Anne Rohrer’s photos. Hate for my first comment to be a quibble, but here it is. The “Northern Rockies” are in Alberta and British Columbia. Montana and Yellowstone (Anne’s bailiwick, I think) would sensibly be known as the “Central Rockies,” at least to people living there who know about Canada.
I’m not calling you out for something I think you don’t know. You certainly seem like you like to get things like this right. That is, minor slips of rhetoric with geopolitical implications. Like, calling the United States “North America” as many folks do without asking Mexico or Canada about that, etc.
