I've been really enamored with New Zealand's open spaces. Something like 85% of the country has been deforested to make room for cattle, sheep and the occasional goat. The open grasslands topped by billowy clouds are strangely compelling to me. The top pic was taken riding the bus on the north island from Rotorua to Wellington, the second taken a week ago while I was bicycling through Central Otago. I spent the day riding along a converted railroad right-of-way that is now a mellow bike ride through spaces so open you feel like you could disappear for being so insignificant. Strangely stunning.
