Long before I stepped here, I had imagined Midwest as in this image. It took some time for weather to offer this glimpse and confirm it for moi :) I know there's more to the "middle" America and I am only beginning to explore it. And loving it too.
Sometimes when I think of Seattle and how different our lives and the surroundings would/may have been, I take a li'l help from Douglas Adams and I know "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." No regrets, whatsoever!!! :)

This is just gorgeous! I lovve the simplicity and the colors. This is what I have always imaged the midwest to be, too. Nicely seen.
Indiana? Did u say Indiana? How much closer can you get! :D
Yup! Im heading to Bloomington this fall...to IU's b-school..for Masters in Info.Sys.
Btw...I cant see ur snap :(
All I see is a white space.
Tones are nice and muted...lends it the right atmosphere...
it certainly says prairie to me!
big sky, gold ground and small and few trees - beautiful
Sounds and looks lovely.
oh Moi, this should be framed... love it, you belong there... look at your pictures... they tell this connection!
Wow this is just gorgeous!!!!
Yeah, lovely!
a weird camera angle. choking.
Love that quote. It says how I feel too. Moi, sometime I would love to see that part of the country. Door County has always fascinated me and I would love to see it in person.
I think we are destined to meet sometime. It would be so much fun.
This picture is lovely. You have captured the essence of the midwest perfectly.
I haven't posted anything new. We are helping our friends move into their new home and time isn't my own right now.
Very cool image and good post.
Thanks for your well-wishes to Sandy and I ;)
u kidding? 45 mins? :DD
right, now I need to find something that I can drive on n off..god save you Moi! :DDD
I've been driving to and from work every day these last weeks loving our gold fields, and when it's sunny, skies like this. I really love your perspective here, accentuating the flatness, which I've come to appreciate, although I didn't as a child after seeing my first mountains in European slides. Perfect, Moi. [big smile]
Great photo, as simple as a child's drawing, and it is exactly what I've imagined the Midwest to be, too; brown and flat as a pancake.

Perfectly framed Moi!
A fine and elegant image. Have a nice time to explore the area.
Moi,
Thanks for the link to the cool article. I appreciated that ;)
Beautifully composed, Moi, just like I picture the Midwest to be like, too!
I hope to see it someday.
Mo, it's wonderful to hear from someone who is happy to be right where she is.
Wow, that's lovely! That does look like a classic mid-west shot. The sky is gorgeous and I like how you have the barn off center. It makes the photo much more interesting. Great shot!
All we are missing is some corn fields ;-)
Love your quote but also "Home is where your heart is"...
This picture makes me say, "I COULD LIVE THERE!" What a gorgeous photograph!
Lovely picture...

I am so glad things are going well and you have found the right place at the right time.
Fabulous shot Moi! Perfect for framing!

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous. What else can be said?
Love the photo! Also love the fact that you feel you are where you needed to be...there isn't anything better than that:)
Yep, that's the way I imagine it, too. Flat and plain ... but you've showed me that there's much more to the place. Thanks!
