Now this is a type of landscape you can’t find here….large flatlands with with high rocky peaks on the far horizon. Here it’s hilly leading up to mountains which are older and rounded.
Monte, a beautiful image that feels “big.”

Thanks, Earl and it is “big.” These scenes are what I missed about the Front Range of Colorado. I missed being able to see the horizon several miles to the east and see the snow capped mountain from the eastern plains.

My idea of where I belong—distant horizons and as Earl said, “big”. I am western to the core of my being and pictures such as this really speak to me. That gorgeous sky is frosting on the cake.

My family is originally from the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle areas so wide open spaces are what I experienced for the first 5 years of my life. I also have those scenes living along the Colorado Front Range. The “big” calls to me. And, I love all flavors of frosting: chocolate, vanilla, etc.

Excellent photo Monte. I really appreciate seeing a photo like this — I don’t see many of those open spaces these days.
Great quote too, one we all need to take to heart.

I missed seeing these mountains and the open range, so I’m glad to be back.
