skyscapes and shadows

Wyoming. The equality state. The first state in which women achieved the vote.  The sky is full here; the horizon low; the land empty. We are experiencing reverse sticker shock. Food and gas are cheap. Prices are low. A very active rail yard here. Our accommodation is large, and we responded by relaxing into an extra day here in Cheyenne.

During the latter part of our trip, we saw light from a sun low on the horizon.  Much different from the first part of the trip, going into the north, with the days longer and the sun revolving around the sky to our south day after day.  No darkness forever.  No long shadows.  No refuge for sleep.  That changed as we came south.  The shadows in Wyoming were magnificent; and when we came to the thicker atmosphere closer to home - I pulled out the sun glasses and put them on to combat the glitter and glare of the sun in the thicker atmosphere of Oklahoma.
