After my hike of the Pine Ridge Trail and drive to Alliance, it was still pretty early. I wanted to get lunch and a beer at Brewery 719, but the brewery doesn't open 2 pm. My first stop was the iconic Carhenge. I've been several times before, but the nice fluffy clouds made me want to return to photograph it.
After a short visit to Carhenge, I got lunch at Dairy Queen, then headed over to the Alliance City Cemetery to visit the grave of Ol' Jules Sandoz. I had read Mari Sandoz's book, loosely based on the life of her father years ago.
After the cemetery, I still had some time to kill and so I headed over to Central Park to go for a short walk. I parked at the fountain, which is not running yet for the season. Then I crossed the road to the other section of the park and scared up a great-horned owl.
As I observed the owl, I realized she was not alone. She had an owlet with her.
It seems like there is plenty of food in the park for the owls.
I took several photos of the pair before walking the park.
Finally it was after 2 pm and so I headed over to the brewery for a beer and six-pack to go.
