Apocalypse

There is nothing that echos post Apocalypse,

like Kansas in the winter time. 

Stranger Creek

Barren of snow to cloak her naked landscapes

that have even leached the blue from the sky above. 

Earth shades of dirt and stone punctuated with ice.

The  winter prairie is not for the faint of heart.

The wind alone will cut you to the bone

and the land is hard and unforgiving. 

A man I once knew said to me that I could wear the color brown

better than anyone he had ever seen.

“Good thing,” I replied,

I’m from Kansas.

  1. Ca a son charme tout de même …. byses

  2. Wow!! Something weird, odd, strange, it looks like the end and the beginning…

  3. That could be in the movie “The road” (I’ve read the book too). Quite good apocalypse atmosphere and photos.
    I have to comment on this article, to know something about ◘ẅ◘’s life. How amazing :) :)

  4. Absolutely fantastic photographs, Chloe!
    I loved exploring them in detail in hi-res (Are those really rib-cages, I wondered? They ARE! Yikes!)
    Many thanks for sharing!

    • Hello Mister M! Nice to see you :)

    • Someone or something was hungry! He he. To be honest, I think a hunter must have field dressed a deer and taken the meat and hide and left the rest for the critters. The cuts around the legs are pretty clean. About half and hour later as it started to get dark, I heard some coyote calls, I imagine it was a feast when it was left.

  5. No flu, no gastroenteritis for me. I am still waiting for Apocalypse according to St John. I just need 4 horseman, an awful beast, a few serpents… Who could help ? :?:

  6. horsemen, sorry. My english teacher would kill me again…

  7. Our winter has had very little snow this year. We’ve had freezing fog, or rather, freezing smog, which was rather disgusting. I am still waiting for something to grab my attention for a photo this season. Not to point the finger completely at nature though, as I haven’t been out and about as much lately. Lovely photo! I will have to come back and view it larger when I am on the computer again. I am currently guilty of trying to read via the phone app.

  8. Beautiful pictures, Chloe, and excellent words! Adrian

  9. If only you knew how my avatar related to “Kansas”. Heh heh. Long story.

  10. What’s up Chloe ? Hope the things are going ok with you.
