Somers, Montana: Flat can also be beautiful.
North shore of Flathead Lake. Surprisingly, a sandy beach spreads out in front of me, transporting me to the sea in my mind. The southern shore of the lake is not visible from here. Seagulls screech. If you have the stamina, you can walk six miles along the beach to the Flathead River. However, the season for this is short: only as long as the water level of the lake is low.
