Back in Ohio

Northern Ohio in the winter, as seen from the car window and through the lens of my new Nikon.

Driving in northern Ohio this weekend, I was struck by the simple beauty of the flat landscape. Maybe it was a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder, but the stripped bare fields along route 6 seemed to be strikingly picturesque to me. Or maybe it was just the contrast. Living in the center of Stockholm, I seldom see the wide open spaces of a rural landscape. I love the city, but sometimes I feel hemmed in. Along the backroads of Ohio, it felt like I could breathe and relax. Or maybe it was  just because I was back in my home state and it all felt familiar, like I was reconnecting to a part of the world I had not been in for years.

Along route 6.

Wide open spaces.
