Western Nebraska

Leaving Ogallala, NE, we ran into snow

on the high plains.  I was intrigued

seeing snow on the lilacs.

More snow in the high plains.

A farm on the Platte River Valley.

There was some snow on the 

high bluffs.

 

Another view of the Platte River Valley.

Note the cattle in the distance.

Cottonwoods are in the foreground.

The high plains in wheat, cattle 

and horse country.

Tree reflecting in a newly melted

snow pond.

I can't resist an artsy shot!

We finally got toe Carhenge in Alliance.

A man who spent many years in

England decided to build a copy

of Stonehenge in his home

town of Alliance, NE.

Happy Birthday, Bill!

It was really cold with

the wind "sweeping down

the plains!"

Because there were no large

rocks or stones to build a 

Stonehenge, the man and his

sons created their henge

out of junk automobiles.

After a week of arranging the

junk cars, some other citizens

of Alliance added their own

modern sculptures to his park.

"The Fourd Seasons"

Click on this (or any other picture)

to enlarge it and you will see

the caption on the yellow car

trunk.  These sculptures are four

Fords; hence The Fourd Seasons!

Chimney Rock, just outside of

Scottsbluff, NE.  Chimney Rock

was used by wagon trains as a

natural sign post along 

their journey.

on the way to Scottsbluff, NE.
