Pictures from the prairie

I took some pictures out on the Konza prairie today.


Geometry of the open road.


Mother-Daughter.


December thistle.


Twisted.


The line and the curve.


Calling the Corners.

The flatness of this landscape is really unsettling, but beautiful! And I love the "Calling the Corners".

Is this playing with the new camera?

(And happy New Year - it's just ticked over, here!)

You know, I've heard that from people but I grew up 10 minutes away from where I took these pictures - raised in big sky country, next to the Konza. I found it very unsettling when I moved to Georgia for grad school - all those hills and valleys and tall buildings and the lack of an open horizon made me feel claustrophobic. I got over it! I'm a confirmed city girl now, but I always feel a great whoosh of relief when I get back to the big sky!

Yep, playing with the new camera. :-)

Happy New Year to you too! :-D And many happy returns.

You are incredibly talented, Sarah.

A happy new year to you.

Beautiful. Wallpaper time!

I love sky and horizon, and hate living in a city, but I suddenly realise that my sky is almost always framed by trees and rolling hills. What is most unnerving about that "Big Sky Country" is that, when I see that much sky, I associate it with the sea, the ocean. It's the fact that your sky has flat land underneath it, rather than rolling waves, that makes it soooo foreign!

Upside down! Sometimes the sky even looks more like the sea than not. It's very pretty out here, really. Sere, but beautiful.
