Ben, I enjoyed the Pawnee Grasslands gallery, a very nice representation of the area.
I hope to spend more time in the area this year.
Thanks for sharing.
The Pawnee gallery is especially nice, Ben. I really liked the vertical image of the long stretch of road over the plains. Cool stuff!

Nice work Ben! My fave is Castlewood #7.
The water tower shot (Pawnee #6) is nostalgic for me. If it is not Grover's tower it is identical to it. I climbed the Grover tower once or twice as a teenager (ca 1973). The view from the catwalk was great, but the climb was a bit unsettling. Skipping over the plates at the horizontal truss joints was bad enough, but the ladder bridging from the leg to the catwalk seemed to be pitched past vertical, and squirming from the top of the open ladder to the catwalk floor... yikes! The memory still tightens my diaphragm.
