10×5 outtakes: SW Landscapes

A few more outtakes from the Kansas 10×5 book project — these three landscapes I took within an hour or so of each other in southwestern Kansas near Big Basin. The land changes fairly drastically in a short distance out here. It’s an area I would like to photograph more often.

The day started off fairly cloudy, but opened up just as I reached Big Basin, seen below. This is a giant, old sinkhole west of Ashland. The flat foreground is the bottom of the sink, and the “hills” you see in the distance are actually the far rim.
