Out in the Middle....

of the Kansas grasslands, south from Oakley, up pop Monument Rocks National Natural Landmark.
Ancient chalk structures that are an amazing sight to see.

These formations look like they belong somewhere else since they don't match anything else in the image.....

Zactly!!

That's the most interesting landscape formation I've seen from Kansas. Nicely done - I like all the layers.

They almost look like ruins.

I have to agree Jim. There should be a contest to find landscape images from Kansas, this shot from Barry may be the only entry!

Thanks, fellas! It's an interesting structure for sure. I've also got some from Castle Rock, also in Kansas.....stand by.
And here's a close up of the chalk layers, and one with my car for scale

OK - this last one looks more out of place than things did before.

You sure there aren't some crop circles nearby?

Nice high key approach to the formations, Barry. Simplicity works well. That's what you get there!

Thanks so much, Jeffrey! It seemed to fit the day, and the afternoon light.

Very interesting. Surprised Castle Rock isn't called The Teapot. Good work with these shots, but I don't think I'll be making a road trip over there any time soon.
