106 Photo of the Day 17 April 2011 -- Flat Expanses of Western Illinois


I took this and several more like it as I was driving to Iowa. I placed the lens against the driver-side window and shot as I continued to drive. (Thankfully no State Trooper was around to stop and ticket me.)   I think I took about 20 shots over-all, but many were less than satisfactory.  

Struck by the flatness and the emptiness of the scene, I was encouraged by the clouds that one of these could be a good photo. I think in the end, this one was decent.
