Description There is for myself an emotional connection to the prairie. A scene like this evokes personal memories of places I have never been and of people I have never met.

Amazing view. I like the whole picture, but the white part, and the blue sky, forming the horizon, I like very much. There is a special light that gives a sense of mile wide solitudes.

wow. beautiful gallery, inspiring landscapes, houses, fields - everything. it's sad that photos are small. would look good on my computer desktop...

very stunning works! not the houses themselves, but how you see them, and how you notice them from its best angle.

and also your photos look somewhat very nostalgic... just when i look at it, i instantly want to visit my country. where nearest house is after one kilometer. and the lake. and the forest, and fields. wind, uncommon birds, which do not live in big cities and the falling stars... oh. ups... i think i am talking like a romantic... well yeah. your gallery is very inspiring.

This picture is interesting to be because of the way it turned out. The and is located south on Manitou Manitoba. I drive the highway through this area four times a week but on this day, I decided to travel country road to explore a bit. The day was quite windy though not cold. I had to walk a fair distance to get to the angle of view that I wanted. This year because of snow, that would not be possible. The finished image has the sense of brush strokes especially in the grass. I think that is related to the wind and the relatively show shutter speed used. The overall effect I thought was quite pleasing.

Tjaumadzo, this picture evokes exactly the same emotions from me! Too many stories going though my mind...About grandparents, and long car drive through country such as this! Thank you for sharing it, and bringing such wonderful memories to mind!

This is a gorgeous image. I get having an emotional connection to an area. I also understand the memories of people you have never met. There is an area that does much the same for me though it is not the prairie

WayneBenedet In reply to Sophia-Christina [2012-02-14 04:29:56 +0000 UTC]

The prairie has become life for me SC. I get uncomfortable now when I am surrounded by hills for too long.

I get that to a small extent because of missing the ocean

That dark cloud line looks like a ghost mountain range to me.

The clouds look like hills in the background - or are they actually hills? Great effect, either way :@)

you are right, they do look like hills. But alas... this is a flat land... no hills here.

of course they are a vast area, but so many people do not see the life that fills them. Glad that you do.

Thanks for your comments Vera, I really appreciate them.

If I remember right I had to walk quite a distance to get this photo, and I got my boots full of snow in the process. So I am happy that someone likes it.
