Happy Holidays from Gerald Blank


Today I wish all my readers a blessed and Merry Christmas!

I wanted to share a couple of images that I will always remember as “Christmasy”. I woke up one morning in North Dakota to find that a heavy fog had encompassed the Missouri River valley for miles around.

The aftermath of a cold foggy night is normally a morning with heavy frost. So I grabbed my camera and headed towards Glass Bluff via McKenzie County Road 16. The frost was everywhere; sparkling crystals covering wire fences, powerlines, grass, and trees...as if the Creator wanted to show us country folks a glimpse of the beauty of the Universe.


Glass Bluff is a rugged hilly area overlooking the Missouri River near its confluence with the Yellowstone River. The cedars and the other trees covering the hillsides looked amazing, especially when viewed up close.


I have shared two of the images I captured, but the the image detail doesn’t do justice to the magic I witnessed that cold winter morning. I hope you enjoy viewing them!

Best wishes, Gerald Blank
