Looks very much like Texas, I think. I lived near Dallas for four years and was just amazed at how flat it was and how incredibly wide and high the sky is. Say that to someone from here who's never been there and they look at you like you're a nut. Of course the sky is wide and high! But it really is totally different.
I love Texas, too, but I'm glad we have more grass and trees.
The sky is a totally different entity when it surrounds you. As Cather says, elsewhere the sky is the roof of the world; here, the earth is the floor to all that sky.
We do have gentle hills in my part of the state, and further to the east, we have the beautiful Flint Hills.
It is what one is accustomed to. I've lived on the plains most of my life, and I love the freedom and expanse of open land and sky. I can certainly appreciate the beauty of other areas, but I'm most at home here.
