Flat lands

Flat lands

Southwest Ontario is very, very flat. Some people can find the flatness boring, or, uninspiring, or depressing. It can be any an all of those.

I think the flatness can be inspiring, intriguing, mind-opening. You can see a very long way, for one thing. Our small town’s water tower is visible from ten miles away. Sunsets can be spectacular – the sun sinks below the horizon as flat as a calm lake, sea, ocean. Far-away thunderstorms are clearly visible. Bush scattered here are there is readily apparent.

Southwest Ontario is a good, ever-changing, intriguing place to live. One has to work a little mentally, visually, to find the beauty in the landscape. I like the challenge.
