Statement:
On a road trip West, the “big sky” was ever present. As storms rolled in, the landscape, ironic at times, stood out. A distant chapel stands against possible funnel clouds. In another a lonesome bar and grain elevators are overshadowed by the incoming storm. Each is an expression of the natural world challenging the human made, or is it, the human made challenging the natural world?
