Delany Point Sunrise

Delany Point, lies just upstream of Hardy Bridge beside a big bend of Montana's Missouri River. I rolled the dice, betting on a colorful sunrise at this spot, 50 miles from my home and I happy with the results - I found an absolute gorgeous kaleidoscope scene of ancient volcanic rock, colorful sky and reflection.

The volcanic field contains a significant and abundant source of shonkinite, a globally uncommon type of intrusive igneous rock that has drawn the attention of geologist for the past 100 years.
