Quotes by Paul Gruchow (?)

“If you would experience a landscape, you must go alone into it and sit down somewhere quietly and wait for it to come in its own good time to you.”

“The prairie is one of those plainly visible things that you can’t photograph. No camera lens can take in a big enough piece of it. The prairie landscape embraces the whole of the sky. Any undistorted image is too flat to represent the impression of immersion that is central to being on the prairie. The experience is a kind of baptism.”
― Paul Gruchow, Journal of a Prairie Year

“A mountaintop is not simply an elevation, but an island, a world within a world, a place out of place.”
