Look At That Strange Glowing Object Riding On The Flatcar Of A Train In Thunder Basin National Grasslands

It is the newly built body of a passenger plane glowing in the setting sun, being transported to where it will be outfitted with its wings, tail, landing gear, electronics, and controls. Today The Wild Images Team has officially launched our page 3 of the store! This has been about 6 months in the making beginning with searching through our extensive library of thousands of photos to choose the top ones, whittling those down to just eighty, putting them through the process of preparing for display, creating the website pages for each, placing the images in each, and finally publishing them. This has required hundreds of hours of preparation time, so we are glad it is done. In honor of the launch of page 3, we are presenting the above image captured in the Thunder Basin National Grasslands in the remote region of northeast Wyoming. It was the above image that caused us to chase the train that we could see in the distance near the bottom of the grasslands valley, until we had passed it by for several minutes, then turned off onto the miles of dirt road that led to this isolated crossing where we also captured this gorgeous photo available for sale on page 3 of our store. The Wild Images Team has captured many other images from Wyoming such as the contrast found in the colorful grasslands and background Grand Teton National Park peaks, the varying landscape of Grand Teton National Park rocky peaks and clouds, the large antlers on display as an elk takes a look back in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest, the vertical abruptness as Devils Tower rises above the red rocks and green pines, and the many hues found as the colorful badlands cover over this very remote region, each of which are available for sale in our store. Blog posts from Wyoming have documented as the rugged snowy peaks rise above wildflowers, and as The Wild Images Team Travel Gnome poses for a picture at the Meeteetse “Where Chiefs Meet” welcome sign. In neighboring Montana, we have captured images such as a group of white mountain goats as they graze the highlands, an expansive view of rocky ridges extending to the horizon, the colorfully massive wall of Hidden Lake, high altitude view of tundra and glacial lakes, a very remote reflective alpine lake covered with rocks, and an ominously approaching heavy downpour over the green foothills, all of which are available for sale in our store. Blog posts from Montana have documented the very deep blue waters of McDonald Creek and the panoramic view of The Wild Images Team at Hidden Lake. In neighboring South Dakota we have captured images such as the bright flash of a colorful lightning strike over the badlands, the moment that a pronghorn displays its phenomenal physique, and the time that a massive bison bull came meandering past, each of which are available for sale in our store. Blog posts from South Dakota have documented the centuries long carving of the massive Crazy Horse Monument, the very majestic Mount Rushmore and the Avenue of Flags, the expansive view as wild burros walk through the rolling prairies, the ever wary prairie dog stands at attention in the prairie, the amazing location of the granite roadways through Custer State Park, when The Wild Images Team encountered a remote end of trail sign in the middle of nowhere, this close up image of textures in a colorful badlands mound, the interesting time when a flock of turkeys photobombed our image, and The Wild Images Team sunset shadows over Badlands National Park. In nearby North Dakota, we have captured images such as the contrast created by the horizontal color bands cross through yellow badlands and the entire herd as a group of wild horses cluster together on a hilltop, each of which are available for sale in our store. Blog posts of North Dakota have documented the herd of bison grazing in the grasslands and the ever changing colorful badland mound that caps a rolling ridge.
