The tree and the horizon seem so compressed linearly. When I first opened the web page, only the top of the image was visible, and I thought I was looking at a negative image! You have captured the emotion of the prairies. The open space, big skies, and dramatic weather all are in this image. I'll have to show it to my wife, who grew up in Brandon, Manitoba. It's beautiful country on the open plains. - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Dory" <dorysrus@mindspring.com> To: <Leica-Users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> Sent: Saturday, August 23, 2003 9:47 PM Subject: [Leica] Don's PAW 32 Clouds on virgin prairie > In July I spent some time on the Tall grass Prairie Preserve in the > Flint Hills south of Kansas City.
