Bighorns by Lindell Dillon Via Flickr: This is not a display of affection, but dominance. The rut is coming and the rams did a little posturing this morning. Even a little head butting. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

“For me, walking in a hard Dakota wind can be like staring at the ocean: humbled before its immensity, I also have a sense of being at home on this planet, my blood so like the sea in chemical composition, my every cell partaking of air. I live about as far from the sea as is possible in North America, yet I walk in a turbulent ocean. Maybe that child was right when he told me that the world is upside-down here, and this is where angels drown. Listening to the voice of the sky, I wonder: how do we tell our tales, how can we hope to record them? I’d like to believe that deep in our bones the country people of Dakota, like poets, like monks, are, as Jean Cocteau once said of poetry, “useless but indispensable.”

Located west of Taos, New Mexico, the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge was called the "bridge to nowhere" while it was being built, because the funding did not exist to continue the road on the other side. At 650 feet above the Rio Grande, it is the 5th highest bridge in the U.S.
