Driving through Nebraska!


Okay, so this blog is a little late, I (Nate) realize that! But I can't simply help remember our memorable drive from Colorado back to Omaha over 2 weeks ago!...

First of all, I must say that I hadn't seen so many cows in my life--cows are like trees in Nebraska; it is just unbelievable!

Secondly, we had the opportunity to see a Nebraskan landmark, called the Chimney Rock; it is located in the panhandle of Nebraska. This was even better than I expected. The day was on January 2nd and was absolutely gourgeous--55 degrees and sunny--you can't get better than that in early January! While we were taking pictures of this momentous occasion, the batteries in our camara died and we couldn't find any batteries that worked.

Finally we were able to drive to this neighboring town that had a population of 500 people and we found the right batteries for our camara--Praise the Lord! Then, we went back to this beautiful Nebraskan scene and had our own photo shoot. We praise the Lord for the beauty he has made in Nebraska!

I love that first shot by the windmill. A surprising view of the chimney. I'll have to get out there someday.

Thanks! I'm glad you commented...I was able to find your new site. Nice photo of yourself!

I'd like you to know that chimney rock was on my list of "musts". When we saw this shot I had to have it, but the batteries died! Note, that as a photographer I had *brand new* batteries for just such a moment, but they were duds!

Also notice that the windmill turned right when we wanted our photo by the scene. Yikes! At least I got the first one.

(P.S. Do you think that could be one of the most photographed landmarks in NE?)
