Cows in Golden Field
288 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Halsey, Nebraska
On the sweeping prairies of the midwest, I found myself surrounded by rolling fields that seemed to stretch into forever. The sky was wide open, filled with drifting clouds, and the light turned the grasses into waves of gold. It is a portrait of stillness, strength, and the timeless rhythm of the land.
What struck me most was the balance of vastness and intimacy. At first glance, the horizon feels endless, a reminder of how open and untamed the South Dakota prairies truly are. Yet within that grandeur, the quiet shapes of cattle dotting the fields remind us of life unfolding in its simplest, most enduring form. It’s the kind of moment that speaks about scale and the enormity of the natural world with the humble creatures that live within it.
I’ve always believed in the healing power of nature. Growing up in the Great Plains, I learned that landscapes like this carry stories of heritage, endurance, and belonging. This photograph is my way of sharing that vision with others, of showing the quiet strength and beauty that can so easily be overlooked in the American heartland.
The prairies don’t shout for attention like mountains or oceans. They whisper. Their story unfolds slowly—the way the light shifts across the grass, how the breeze bends the fields, how the horizon glimmers in the distance. I try to honor that subtle beauty by being patient, by paying attention, and by letting the land tell its own story through my lens.
This photograph is also extremely high-resolution, captured with care so that every blade of grass, every shadow of a cloud, and every detail of the prairie can be seen with incredible clarity. The process wasn’t easy. It required careful composition and technical precision, but it was worth every effort. When you stand in front of the final print, you can see the landscape as if you were standing right there with me, breathing in the open South Dakota air.
For me, this photograph isn’t just wall art, it’s a piece of the prairie itself. When you bring it into your home, office, or healthcare space, you bring with it warmth, openness, and serenity. My hope is that this image will give you the same sense of calm and grounding that I felt while creating it.
The vibrant sky, the golden fields, the quiet movement of cattle is the heart of the Midwest. It’s a reminder of wide-open spaces, resilience, and the beauty of slowing down to truly see.

VAST Print™
A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:
- Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
- Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.
*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
