Konza Prairie - up the hill by mcsiegle

Konza Prairie - up the hill

My get pushed challenge from Oriahna Perez @oreos808 was to photograph Kansas landscape, so on Friday I headed out to the Konza Prairie Biological Station and walked the trail. This was taken near one of the highest points on the landscape, looking up toward the top. I posted a picture looking back down here: http://365project.org/mcsiegle/365/2015-01-16
That gives a better view of the lay of the land.
For a closer view of the couple up in the upper left:

So, did you take the photo, or did you have this photo taken of you in the background? Either way, I love how it depicts the scale. My stepdad just sent me an article in the Topeka Capital Journal about the photography opportunities at the Konza Prairie. Nicely done!

Really like this one. The steps lead your imagination where you will....

Great and inviting perspective - I had not imagined Kansas as anything other than flat! (sorry)

@kareenking I took the photo. At the top left is a couple ahead of me. I'm about to post a photo taken of them at close range. We should get together sometime in the spring at the Konza Prairie for a photo walk.

@kittikat This is the Flint Hills and it is wonderful rolling prairie hills -- with fewer trees than other hilly regions of the US. Out in western Kansas there is a lot of very flat land where you can see forever. We are closer to the eastern end.

Sandstone steps?

@fugitivemoments Native limestone. The Flint Hills are made up of limestone, with bands of chert or flint running through.
