Another discovery

Wow what a week this has been so far! I drove 3/4 across Kansas to Oakley. In the dark and rain. Got up the next morning well before the sun to get to my destination for photos at sunrise. Unfortunately the danged clouds had other plans. We had a peek of sun and then in a matter of a few minutes the entire sky was blanketed.
But not before we grabbed some images of another one of those little surprises in the middle of very little in the South West corner of Kansas. You drive down a two lane highway to a sign and turn off onto a dirt road that still looks like it leads to nowhere. Continue driving until you find a T in the road and a little sign that points to the right for Monument Rock. Still...are you sure? Just a bit further on a gravel road you turn the curve and whhhoooa. These gigantic rock formations, almost Kansas' version of Stonehenge like figures. You get out of the car and the quiet is overwhelming a little. But then, the awe inspiring scenery is causing you to run around like a school kid and wonder how they heck this happened here? What caused it? How cool is this?! Cool enough that the iPhone worked out there so I could share before I even pulled the pics off my Canon.
I'm amazed that a person can live in the same state her entire life and and not know how MUCH it has to offer. Once again, the grass is always greener right? Uh no. The grass is greenest right at your feet. You just have to open your eyes and step outside your own yard! :-)
