August 2026 - Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse

About the Image(s)

I took this photo on the East End Scenic Rail Tour, starting in East End, Saskatchewan, Canada. This was the inaugural trip for the first passengers on this tour. This photo was taken at the end of the rail tour and is the location where Sitting Bull and is 5000 followers lived after the battle for Little Big Horn. The reason was this group was worried about reprisals after the Little Big Horn battle. Sitting Bull and his followers stayed here for about 3 to 5 years. I took this photo with a Nikon Z7ii at an aperture of 6.3 and ISO of 320 and at 83 mm on a 24 to 200 mm lens; the exposure was1/1600 of a second at F6.3 . The tie house was used as a parts warehouse and bunkhouse by the CN Railway.

I think this is a very nice shot, Terry. There's a good balance of foreground, background, and sky. It has a nice color balsnce and it appears sharp throughout. The long, narrow composition is just right for this image. A lot of nice texture in this image.   Posted: 08/08/2026 15:21:55

That Black thing on the Left side is just an actual tree growing in the ravine full of bush.   Posted: 08/08/2026 23:59:26

Terry, excellent image. I like really like the somewhat pano crop. The dilapidated house (love it) on the right and the mountains and plains on the left create a perfect balance. Loved your write-up and story. Colors are very natural and the lighting is perfect.   Posted: 08/11/2026 13:22:18
