I'm a bit late to the party but have some to contribute. Saskatchewan, the province where I live has the statement "Land of Living Skies" on our license plate. It is pretty flat so lots of sky is visible most of the time.

These were all taken close to where I live. When the canola (yellow) and flax (blue) are in flower lots of people go looking for a nice composition with the flowers and the sky.

Trent you do live in a perfect landscape for skies—and you’ve shared some beauties! Your second image’s composition typifies this—beautiful sky captured! I also love the last two with the great skies and the canola and the flax beneath.

Doug, you have shared more than beautiful skies with a variety of other atmospheric phenomena! I love the double rainbow at Grand Canyon (my favorite) but the halo/sun dogs is the most unique. And by the way, great lightning capture too! Thanks for sharing these beauties!
