Locating Satellites

I’m back in Washington, DC after 12 days and this was one of the first photographs I shot when I left. Eventually the GPS did find Satellites but this was used very little. I found that I like the open Interstate highway and not the blue, red, orange or black highways. I’ll be posting photographs from the trip over the next few weeks.

I learned that I like the Prairie and the Great Plains and wonder why anyone would leave that area if they could stay. I like this area as well but it’s exhilarating to look out and see nothing but grass and sky for miles and miles - just green and blue and the wind is blowing, creating and moving patterns through the grass. You can see trouble coming a long way off. America is a large country. The new states that I visited: Wisconsin, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and Montana. I also did google maps and at one point it read: “turn on to route I-90 and drive 1083 miles through Missouri, South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. I thought that was encouraging.
