Dale offers the prompt “out in the country” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
The first photo was taken along a rural road in northwestern Indiana near the farm where I grew up. This is an agriculturally productive land out in the country where corn, soybeans and hay are raised on nearly fat fields.
The second photo is from a park in Colorado Springs providing a view of the mountains. In the distance is Pikes Peak. In the middle of the photo, if you know what you’re looking for, you can see the upright sedimentary rock formations known as “Garden of the Gods”. This is country also, but more mountainous than that in Indiana.
Poetry, Short Prose and Walking 
Frank, these are beautiful. One of my favorite places is Colorado Springs. I have been there a number of times for work and pleasure. I had the good fortune one time to stay at the Broadmoor. The area has so many stunning mountain features. Thanks for bringing back some good memories.
Blessings.

At one point we drove by the Broadmoor. The memory that most comes back to me is climbing the Manitou Incline. Although not in Colorado Springs, it was next to it. Thank you, Michael!

I just love the ominous sky looming above the fields in the first one and the various landscapes in the second.

Those incoming storm clouds can become ominous. It is an area where there are tornados. Thank you, Mary!
