Amazing Views from the End of the Earth


You might not think of Wichita, Kansas as a place of great beauty. You may not be looking hard enough. The flat plains opens the sky to a vastness that is amazing to behold. So, as you crank your head from the horizon in the north, to the horizon in south you see all that the land holds and all the big blue sky has to offer. This effect is also remarkable at night. We go online and see where the planets are then go out back and find them. Interesting too is the flight paths from all the airforce craft taking off and landing at McConnell. Watching a steady succession of tankers and AWAX fly over our home is pretty darn neat.
