While visiting family in Idaho Falls in August of 2019, I drove up one early morning to Market Lake Wildlife Management Area near Roberts, stopping by an old homestead in the area first. The sun was just cresting the horizon, bathing the landscape in gold as I was arriving. I parked and explored the area and took several photos before driving on to Market Lake. There is a certain charm for me in these old homes and sheds, and although I took hundreds of images that morning, my favorites were of these buildings under the golden sunrise. I grew up in a rural countryside home, with no neighbors within a mile or so. We had fields to roam and explore, with all kinds of space. As I looked over the fields surrounding these buildings, I imagined the hard work that went into building the home and shed and farming the land. I imagine that it was a quite solitary life, but also a peaceful and fulfilling one, staying close to the earth and depending on it for survival. I honor those with the resilience and fortitude to make a home there just a few generations ago.
