29 -- [personal profile] mecurtin, What is the most beautiful sight you see outside on a regular basis? Can be a building, landscape, plant, animal, artwork, people playing, whatever.

The first thing you have to know is that our city in Illinois was flat, flat, flat. It was so flat that when I first drove up to meet the spouse there, if I stopped paying attention to the landscape, I would begin to feel as though I was driving on an impossibly long bridge over a lake or something -- water was the only thing in my experience that was that flat.

But now I live in the part of the Midwest that somehow escaped being scraped down by glaciers, and so there are hills.

So the most beautiful thing I see outside is some broad, unexpected, ridiculously scenic view. Like, I walk out the door of the Farm and Fleet and I can look out over rolling hills, dun-colored at this time of year and dotted with black and white cows and textured with bare cornfields, and as I gradually turn my head, the brick buildings of the tiny university come into view with the sunset on them. It's like living in a jigsaw puzzle.

Let's here it for the unsung, the underappreciates, the UNGLACIATED Upper Midwest.
