Resize Text: When looking at a beautiful photograph of an exciting weather event, one might ask which is more spectacular—the photo or the weather phenomena depicted in it? A collection of photographs created by the Plains Photo Project at Emporia State University in Emporia, Kansas, prompts just such a question. The project is devoted to Great Plains life and culture, and has expanded since it was launched in December 2007 by the university's Center for Great Plains Studies. As more photographers have discovered the gallery, or as the Center has approached new photographers, the list of artists and their work has grown. The group of photographs published here ranges from foggy sunrises to gorgeous sunsets to ice storms.
