The dichotomy of beauty and poison from above Butte Montana on a recent photo fligh:
I've driven by the Berkely Pit countless times, amazed at the scope of the scar on the landscape. On a recent photo flight, I was surprised to see the beauty up the upper reaches of the area. I never knew there was an upper holding pond, with its alluring carribbean blue, above and out of site of the massive 2,000 feet deep main open pit below. With this, and the hard to grasp number of 10,000 miles of tunnels that are under the valley as well, Butte never ceases to continually fascinate me!

“Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight”
Craig W. Hergert. Essays by Shann Ray.
Few images capture the grandeur of Mon-
tana—big sky, big land, big mountains, big
everything—as well as Bozeman photographer
Craig Hergert’s panoramic photographs. In
his newest coffee-table book, Hergert takes
viewers on a journey to 26 areas from Glacier
National Park to Ekalaka. We almost don’t
want to recommend this stunning photogra-

will want to immediately move to Montana.
