Wide Open Spaces Photo

Photographer’s Note

Some people don't want to be bothered. Not bothered with neighbors, not bothered with too many rules. The outskirts of Cody, Wyoming is one location for such a life. A man's got his trailer, his pickup, and a "No Trespassing" sign (not visible) at the end of his long driveway--the essentials of that kind of life. You won't get wealthy, and there will be dark clouds in life at times, but there won't be anybody much telling you what to do all the time.

Hi Ken,

It's great to see your work again! I love how much space you've devoted to the sky here, and what a dramatic sky. I suppose that I often feel I want to live like this, but I also like my house in the suburbs!

Hello Ken -

A very dramatic sky with the rain and virga on the horizon. The WA lens really intensifies the wide open spaces of Wyoming. All the tech stuff is spot on. Well done and seen, I think I might have just driven by rather than stop.

Thank you for sharing.

Essence of America...
Essence of freedom...
A trailer, the plains, and the wide open skies...

Lucky those, who don't need anything else.

Something to go to bed with, Ken...
To have the starry universe and nothing else..

One day, buddy.. One day - God willing, I'll pack myself and go..
One day..
g.

Great stuff. Exceptional presentation.

Typical America, living in this way, but on the other hand living in a chaos in very large cities. What i prefer...well, sometimes i would live like this, but at the end i would miss some people around me. But the guy who lives here must enjoy nature i a very dramatic way, because seeing this kind of landscapes in front of your house you really must be happy.....for that time.
Great shot Ken...
