Last week, I drove over 1,200 miles in my high-mileage Subaru on a trip to the deep Sandhills of Nebraska.
Why did I drive all the way out there?
I needed the silence.
The chaos of the world is just too much sometimes, at least it has been for me lately. So I had to get out.
This was Day One:
I left my hotel at 3 a.m. in the morning to arrive at my destination (Crescent Lake between Ellsworth and Oshkosh, Nebraska). Luck wasn’t on my side, as these were some of the last slivers of morning light before the sky became overtaken by dark rain clouds.
Regardless, there’s a kind of peace to be found in the gloom.
And if I came for silence, there was definitely that.
Soon the sky broke and quickly revealed some rural treasure.
I photographed a few popular Nebraska scenes as well.
Before long, though, the light was covered by more dark clouds.
… but I couldn’t sleep. So I roamed.
What about you? Where do you find peace?
Thanks for being here! More to come from this trip.
