Beautiful is the art from the Tallgrass Prairie.
The Flint Hills and the Konza Prairie, butting up against the Osage Questas to the east, are magnificent in displays of nature's extreme cycles. Periodic starkness brings into high relief elements of presence, entanglement, and life. The Prairie - wildly necklaced about by the rich Flint Hills - is the place for artists...and cameras...and charcoals...and paints...
Even though my fingers were FREEZING
I left the pile of warm cozy, ran outside and took some videos (posted below) of a typical fabulous Flint Hills Sunrise. I love the Konza Prairie! I love the Great Plains! (is Great Plain an oxymoron?)
