The view along the way

It is interesting how the view changes as you travel across the country.
From East of the Cascades in WA to Chicago (except in the mountains) the view is wide open with trees in clusters off in the distance. See the picture of the giant cow.

East of Chicago the trees are more frequesnt and start to line the freeway. From Ohio to New Hampshire the freeway runs through a virtual tunnel of trees. And, amazingly to me, the freeway shoulders and medians are all mowed- for hundreds of miles!
They mow the shoulders in Nebraska too---then they bale it up-- and use it to feed deer in the winter.
