I live in the manicured south, where the landscape is divided by hedgerows, where trees shield the horizon in the countryside and chimneys swallow it in the towns. It is beautiful, but enclosing.
This photograph was taken from the top of St Rule’s Tower in St Andrews, Scotland, last year. It was a trip that found wide horizons, sunsets beyond the edge of the world and a distance fringed with snowy peaks.
It is only when the eye can see forever that you feel the touch of eternity.

That’s what the southwest is all about. Big skies. Huge spaces. Unlike New England which is like old England … very pretty, but very close. Great shots.
