My World is up in the corner of NW Okieland and I love it
We lead the way in wind energy, with new turbines towering majestically on many horizons
The roads are empty of any traffic and a joy to drive
The endless views across the wide open Plains are simply breathtaking.
Abandoned homesteads are reminders of a tough past for the land run pioneers
Rolling red dirt canyons show off their vivid colours
The silence here is truly golden and allows a person to breathe deep, relax and appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. It's just good for the soul.

Sure looks pretty to me! I can see why you like it there. But I wish you had snow, right? LOL
Beautiful shots, Sarah! They look very familiar to me -- being from Texas originally. It does look so peaceful and with plenty of room! Hope you have a terrific week!

Very nice! We have a lot of windfarms in Southern Minnesota and Iowa. When we go camping toward the south of the state we see a lot of them.
Yes - I agree, the plains are breath-taking
I can sooooo appreciate living in a beautiful land that you love. These are all excellent photos of your beautiful world.
Very different from crowded Honolulu, where I live!
Beautiful scenes of your beautiful part of the state!
Do those windmills make a loud thumping sound when you are close to them? I was also wondering how closely they erect them to housing developments.
Amen to all of that my friend. How much snow did you get? Ours melted within hours of touching the ground. Better than last week's ice storm.~~Dee
I agree with wholeheartedly with your observations... and I love your photos, esp the lonely road. :)
Beautiful shots, I had no idea Oklahoma was so pretty.

That is a wonderful looking place! The space and empty roads - bliss to us overcrowded Brits! I especially like the wind turbines :o)
How refreshing to read of someone enjoying the flat open spaces. In Lincolnshire our fens are often refered to as boring. Liked the wind turbines and the open road!

Your world is so beautiful. I've never been to your part of the country but your shots make me want to see it.
The beauty of you shots is good you my sole, Sarah. They are gorgeous and I enjoyed them immensely.
Great variety of shots that well illustrate your part of the state.
It does look beautiful, and yes - tranquil! I agree - those wind turbines have a certain majesty in the right setting, and I love the composition of your third photo here!

Ah Oklahoma.... they've written songs to your loveliness but none as loving as Sukie's prose
Sarah: What a neat look at your world and the wonders of your land.
What beautiful pictures of a beautiful country
