Big Sky Country

One thing that I've really noticed at the trailer farm, now that I live there, is that the sky is huge.  At The Homestead, we have a nice southern Utah sky.  But it isn't necessarily all that big.  There are the hills, the plateaus, the mountains, the trees, the houses, the buildings.  Each of them contributes framing to a sky that is present, but not omnipresent.  On the Arizona strip, aside from scattered double-wides and the buttes, as A.B. Gurthrie has it, "swimming clear a hundred miles away," there is nothing to break up the sky.  When you go out in the morning, or, in the case of these pictures, on the evening of a storm, the sky is visible from flat horizon to flat horizon.  It makes up half your world.
