Nebraska Nights / by Bill Frakes

It doesn't get better than this.

Sublime night.  Perfect temperature — 65 degrees.  Crystal clear skies.  Virtually no wind.  Nothing between us and the heavens — just now starting to sparkle, and by midnight the stars will completely fill the sky.

This is my favorite place on earth.  Nebraska.  Right smack in the middle of the USA.

Tonight, I'm in the Sandhills in the middle of a long grass pasture.  No one for miles in any direction. Except for friends helping me work on a series of short films saluting my birth state.

Absolutely peaceful.  Incredibly stimulating.

Home.
