I live in a very flat part of the world. Elevation changes could be measured in centimeters or inches. This cluster of silos is over four kilometers from where I was. Although it was a little hazy, it was easy to see some details.
Flat land.

Simple, Immense
Two hallmarks of of flatland scenery. The eye, mind, and spirit can feast on the simplicity and immensity of the landscape.
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.
