I've often thought perhaps it is the elevation -- one is noticeably closer to the clouds and they pass overhead quicker -- so they seem bigger?
It's definitely more than just the flatness. I've seen flatness in Ohio but it didn't have a "big sky" feel like Wyoming. Could it also be the wind?
The wind? Could be....hadn't thought of that before....
Pippin, family history can be so rewarding. Glad you were able to some, and in that part of Tennessee you love.
