These transplanted bison have become the rage for visitors at Minneopa State Park. Given the limited viewing times and the variability of bison behavior it took awhile to get a shot I had visualized. The Seppman mill in the background has long been the prairie shot to give a sense of place. Putting the two subjects together makes this a 21st century shot. The bison are one step in a very slow moving process of prairie restoration.
We went to the traditional July 3rd fireworks at Cambria, MN, last night. The village easily swells to at least 3 times the normal population of 300 for a few hours each year. Their display is excellent and allows for up close fireworks photography. A wide angle lens is all that is needed for the overhead shots. However, not all the color is in the sky. Hope you get out this weekend to see some holiday color and reflect on the history of the day.
