On the land where we stand
Where the mountains are grand
Where the prairies the skies entertain,
Let us raise in our days
A perpetual praise.
Let the awesome combine with the plain.

I live on the plains too. They are the unsung aspects of the country, I agree.

I was born in Indiana. I thought that was flat until I saw Iowa and Colorado, that is, Colorado east of the Rockies. Thank you, Suzanne!

I’ve never been to America but currently live on the edge of western plains in Victoria, Australia. I love the sense of open-ness that you can get in flat country.

One of the nice things about a flat landscape is the wide view of the sky.
