roadside wings
The clouds seem to mirror the wings on the cross, like the spirit of the person has ascended skyward.

can’t sink me in sorrow
I’ve lived almost my whole life on the plains, within view of long horizons. Without them, I feel constrained.
Which I guess is why I took advantage of a piece of a horizon and stretched it out into a four-shot panorama. I felt better, too, when I was done and the photo was a little more horizon-y than the camera realized.

high plains minimalism
I guess if I’m being honest, the term “high plains minimalism” is sort of redundant. I mean…it’s the plains. It’s flat. There aren’t a bunch of trees. Etc.
But on the other hand, this view seemed extra minimalistic for some reason.

travel options
Thank you, Oklahoma, for showing us which direction the horizon goes. I mean, I’m used to seeing it, but I bet those New England photographers I was traveling with appreciated the assistance.

yet despite all this
Normal travelers seeking a route between Cheyenne and Caspar would take Interstate 25, which would take about two and a half hours.
And that is the complete explanation of our route of choice, a desolate and meandering path that added roughly an hour to the drive. But we got to see this. (And we skipped the boring interstate.)
