Sunday Photos and a recommendation

A couple of shots from the Flint Hills today.  The first was taken at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, outside Strong City, KS.  (Yeah, yeah, I know that's not grass in the photo.)  The best part of my drives back and forth from Oklahoma to Olathe is the portion in the Flint Hills. Most folks probably think of that stretch of road as the boring, desolate part of I-35 (in contrast to the boring, populated part?), but I find it beautiful, particularly near sunset.  Which brings me to my second photo of the day, and the recommendation.  If you haven't already, click on the link in my blog list over there on the right side of the page to Get The Flick, the terrific blog by another retired controller and darned fine photographer, Don Brown.  Don does a great job of covering the world of aviation safety, with some political commentary and his photography mixed in.  His work was an inspiration to me in starting my own blog.  Don is a great guy, but likes to photograph at sunrise, which means his circadian rhythm is about 180 degrees off from mine.  He mentioned the other day he was hoping for one of those "sky on fire" mornings.  I found mine in the evening, east of El Dorado.
