a favour to ask of those living on flatland

Specifically, the Canadian prairies or those parts of the U.S. below them.

If any of you have photos of all that wide open space, would you mind posting them? This Edmonton girl living in Vancouver's feeling a bit homesick today. sigh

It's beautiful, right? But NOT something I'd want to see coming my way in real time! shake

Thanks.

People who aren't from the prairies don't get it. They think there's nothing to look at. They're looking for the wrong things though. The nothingness IS what you're supposed to see. All that wide open space has a sort of freedom and clarity mountains and forests, lovely as they are, can never compete with.

It's interesting how we're so often a product of our environment. I've always imagined just sprinting with abandon across those gigantic plains and under such a big sky must be the next best thing to flying! But I don't think I could live in such an area. I'm WAY too agoraphobic... and aside from what must be a breathtaking night sky, I think I'd crave "stuff" to look at after some time. On the other hand, when I've visited heavily forested mountain regions -- Vermont say -- I've felt entirely claustorophic. There are no expanses; just trees on top of you and hills over which you can't see just a few hundred feet ahead.

I need something inbetween.

How about the Okanagan Valley?
It's not quite mountains, it's not quite flatland. It's a little of both.


Prairies are home for me. When I hear the word "home" I don't picture any house I've ever lived in or even any city. I picture flatland. I like to imagine myself with my ancestors riding horseback at full gallop across all that wide open plain. love

There's no sky in the world that looks like that. That shade of blue is perfection.
