    Wide Open Spaces

    “Those who find beauty in a landscape do so because it touches a place of beauty already within themselves.”

    Courtney Milne

    I find I’m in this phase of looking for those wide open spaces. It may be because of the amount of solitude I’ve been taking over the past few years and reflecting where I am in my personal life. It may also be do to the time spent in the Ohio Valley where wide open spaces were not as prevalent. It may be because of my fascination with clouds. Whatever, here are two more from the eastern prairie, taken the same evening about an hour apart. I apologize if I’m posting too many of these landscapes and I’m giving you fair warning more are coming. 🙂

    The Mysterious

    The Mysterious

    “The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.”

    Albert Einstein

    For anyone who is interested their is a wonderful blog about a husband and wife who enjoy hiking the Appalachian Trail. They just finished a 4-day hike and have written about their experiences here.
