Logan via Hays

We went up to Logan, Kansas on Monday, after spending the weekend in Hays. We had a leisurely, enjoyable drive up to Hays, taking back roads most of the way. We were rewarded with some good photo opportunities!

Holy Cross Church, Pfeifer, Kansas. Pfeifer was founded in 1876 by German immigrants from Russia.

The first evening we drove to the hill country southwest of Hays for sunset, and had the good fortune to spy some buffalo (American bison) backlit by the setting sun.
::

The next day went to the Sternberg Museum and took a few photos. A few are shown below and you can view the rest at my Sternberg Museum Flickr set.

These fossilized jellyfish were simply amazing to look at. There were dozens of them on displayed on a fairly large (2-3 feet square) slab.

And the reason we went to Logan was to help our friends at the Redbarn Studio pack up a traveling exhibition of Lester Raymer artwork that had been on display at the Hansen Museum the past couple of months.
