Word A Week Photo Challenge – High (Souris River Valley)

North Dakota is in the dead center of the Great Plains, which for the most part means flat, flat and more flat. However like everywhere else where water’s imperative meets an obstruction, water wins. Here a lone pine stands surprisingly high on its perch overlooking the work of thousands of years during which the Souris River has cut a valley in and around what is now Minot, ND. The photo makes my more conventional contribution to the Word a Week Photo Challenge.
