Much of the country thinks of the Midwest as brown stuff that just needs to be flown over, but there are some wonderful people and great images there. Please show more!

I grew up in South Dakota so I know how awesome the sky can seem in such wide-open spaces. The American and Canadian farmers and ranchers who live on these flat plains and under this big sky endure some of the most violent weather in the world and feed the world. They are my childhood heroes.
Stunning picture. I would love to visit and see something like this up close and personal.
At first I thought this was a nuke mushroom cloud...the repeated boiling cloud pattern one over another...though in the midwest the sight of a "hanging wall cloud" is even more devastating! Since I grew up near a grain elevator almost identical to this one...viewing this was a Proustian experience for me as well...and the Ansel Adams "black and white" treatment really punches it up! Anyone catch how eerie it is that the grain elevator is the only thing on the ground that is lit? Almost like Mother Nature has "painted" (illuminated) her target!
Stunning.

A summer in Salina captured at its best.
In technical terms that’s what you call a double whammy!
