West Kansas has a pretty bad rap for its less-than-stimulating topographical features. And sometimes driving through it is close to excruciating. But I didn't mind the trip through the expansive plains too much this time as we headed back Oklahomaside. Even thought it was downright scenic on several occasions.
I know. So, Kansas, I'm sorry. Every place has its Shangri-La. You just have to see it in the right light. Literally.


...reminds me of the airplane scene in North by Northwest...




Hooray! These are really beautiful.
Three cheers for beautiful, scenic,
colorful Kansas.
Some people think a landscape has to have a thrill-a-minute to be worth anything, but there is something equally beautiful in massive expanses of meditative space, cloud patterns, wheat fields, sunsets.
