I'm kind ...I grew up in central/eastern Oregon. I'm kind of being metaphorical about actually looking over the great basin, but I did do a lot of exploring in the Oregon portion. We lived on the edge of it, and I would pour over maps and imagine it. Whenever I had the chance I would find a high place to sit and look east and imagine what it would be like to soar over it. The land is similar to what I see in your photos in that there are wide expanses of land and sky. To the west of us were the cascade mountains, but somehow the east was the direction of longing for me.Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317781439813042895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342078269405900248.post-78141969808759506432014-11-26T15:43:52.213-08:002014-11-26T15:43:52.213-08:00The Pink Panther movie??

...I'm curious, where did you grow up, Clare??!!<br />The Great Basin. Sounds like a place I must go to. Now!! <br />I'm going to look it up. My history is not that polished. I didn't pay attention when I was suppose to! Lol.<br />I never thought I would be so in love with the vast land, the wide wide world I'm in. <br />The desert. The plains. It's all so wild. <br />Makes a person think. <br />So great to see your comments.

Blue and gold and white, my heart is soaring through your landscape!<br />When I was growing up in the high desert, I spent a lot of time gazing east out over toward the great basin. There's something about all of that space and sky that sets the imagination in motion. It's like the freedom to explore, and the potential of all of that endless land makes your own potential expand.Clarehttp://www.tigerfoodpress.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342078269405900248.post-8319763047443026722014-11-24T09:52:03.754-08:002014-11-24T09:52:03.754-08:00Beautiful...and the little creature added so much ...Beautiful...and the little creature added so much to the beauty ...happy thanksgivingMrsLittleJeanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261467265044347736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342078269405900248.post-59538196148150029632014-11-24T03:37:27.339-08:002014-11-24T03:37:27.339-08:00Oh how I love these snowy scenes.
