A good example of the rolling hills of Missouri. I stepped too close to the edge of the road and I became one with the rolling hills. My wife said I looked like a basketball working my way to the bottom. All I know, I was out of air by the time I got back to the top.

Really like this Tick and all the curves and lines created by the tractor. Beautiful countryside and capture. The rolling hills are truly lovely to see in person, MO is a gorgeous state

This is a gorgeous shot, Tick. I love the angle and the colors are outstanding. MO is such a beautiful state. Sorry about the trip down the hill but it was worth it! This is a wall hanger!

I pretty much like everything about this one........The location of the barn, The roll of hay, the curves in the grass, the elevations you've shown. Viewed full screen.

A scene I enjoy so much and have saved it to enjoy again later. Sharp, nice composition, and colourful. Old buildings are great.

Hopefully only your wind was compromised and nothing else on you, Tick.

Your elevation here allows us a view of those rolling hills but I'm also enjoying something I see a lot of here where I live--the contours of harvesting that meander around the pond, barn, and trees.

And watch where you step, dude. I know how that happens, I have the same habit, but you gotta be cognizant of your surroundings. It could be a lot higher drop next time. We'd miss you and your photos.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
