A Quick Trip To Butte America

On the way to Butte America



The original settlers apparently couldn't see the rocks lying just below the surface dirt. Some of these pictures were taken from a moving car.


Our Lady of the Rockies, the BVM, broods over Butte.



The former downtown Butte is now the uptown Historic District. It has a way to go before it is ready for prime time.


This is the Mike Mansfield Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse. Another hideout for our masters in government, this one in uptown Butte. There was a certain amount of unpleasantness here. Somehow the jury managed to put up with it, probably like many of us put up with our political masters' TV ads.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
