You don't have to travel far
Whoever said you have to travel to a far away destination to get some spectacular views might have to eat their words. The weather in Central Indiana has been great the last few weeks. Fall colors, and absolutely spectacular sun rises and sun sets. I really am amazed at the beauty I've been seeing, right from my own yard. I've often admired some of the great photographs from the Rockies, or the Gulf, or the Smokies. But I think, with the right "eye", flat - cornfield infested Indiana can stand right up next to them!
October 9: about 7:00 am (looking East). I woke up to do a work from home, pulled the front window of the house open and saw this! I stepped outside to get some photos. I was breathless!
Then on November 4, I had to drive to the office and when opening the front door was shocked to see this. No, those are not mountains. The corn field was harvested just the day before. The ground is about as flat as it can get. Those "mountains" you see are really clouds and fog rolling in.
So on my drive into work, I passed these little guys. They were so cute, all facing the same direction. Notice the fog in the back ground. This was an awesome drive into work.
Then about the time I hit "town" and was faced with wall to wall traffic and the concrete jungle, I began to ask myself, is there any beauty in a city? Buildings, parking lots, asphalt roads, traffic?
Then I pulled into the parking lot at work and turned around (East) and saw this. Yes, this was taken right in the middle of an asphalt parking lot! (Fishers, Indiana)
So tonight, I was outside playing in the yard with my 2 and 1/2 year old grandson. When I noticed the Western sky! I snapped this photo first. (By the way, we are sleeping in the camper every night! It's fabulous doing camps at home ... especially with views like this:
I waited a few more minutes and went behind the garage, facing West, the sun went down a bit more. I WAS completely breathless. Yes, it really was this fantastic! Whoever said there's nothing but corn in Indiana?
