Virtual Meeting
This is the thing that’s true about schools of architecture: the doors are almost never locked because students are at the architecture building all the time. We took advantage of knowing this and took a walkabout through the college of architecture at Montana State one Saturday morning.
And remember that broken-lens story from yesterday? I started learning the new lens right here…

Three Feet and Two Chairs
It was a calm morning in Bozeman – the pool became a mirror.
(Fun story: it was soon to be less calm, as my other camera took a bit of a lens-first dive onto a concrete floor. The floor won. But Bozeman Camera and Repair saved the day – and the vacation – and we were soon on the road with a brand new lens.)

This site has been a national cemetery since 1879; the original designation, three years after the battle of Little Bighorn, was intended to protect graves of the 7th Cavalry troopers buried there. In 1886, The site was proclaimed National Cemetery of Custer’s Battlefield Reservation to include burials of other campaigns and wars. The name has been since been shortened to “Custer National Cemetery.” (from Wikipedia.)

No way to be knowin’
Here’s a detail from yesterday’s photo of the Memory Tree. There was something about those buttons…
The title of this post comes from the Cowboy Celtic song I linked to a couple of days ago:
Just who fell first and who was last
There’s no way to be knowin’
And in the background you can see the markers where Custer and some of his troops fell.
