Background Information on Web Site

The purpose of this web site is to highlight photographs from one small, but significant location in North Dakota - my "home" farm located 15 miles north of Bismarck, ND (Geographic Longitude = 100W 47' 42"; Geographic Latitude = 47N 03' 34"; Corrected Magnetic Latitude = 56; Zenithal limiting magnitude = 6.7).  You might be surprised at the beauty that you can see year round on the prairies of North Dakota (and from just one small location in the state).  Come back and visit! 

Other Information

Site online as of April 2001 (Prairie Journal features occasional entries of photographs and writings on the prairie - and was a "blog" long before "blogs" became mainstream).

All stories & photographs are copyright.  Do not post on other web sites.
