24th day -- Passing of time and space

I am cheating again just a little because I actually snapped these two shots yesterday on my drive from Central Kansas to Colorado Springs. I like both of the scenes for their own sakes, but what is interesting is that they occurred just four hours apart on the same day!

The first shot of the old farmstead is a scene just west of Salina or east of Russell which I have passed by hundreds of times over the years but have never seen because it is off the interstate a bit. I stopped at a roadside park where I saw a path with a bridge leading to the open countryside -- for people to walk their dogs stretch their own legs. Just beyond the property fencing is this picturesque abandoned farm. The grey day emphasized the colors of fall.

As I traveled west near the Kansas border, I ran into a winter storm from Oakley to Goodland. Not fun driving for sure. I love the look of my folks' beautiful home when it is decorated with fresh snow. And I like the bluish cast which twilight added to the scene.
