As in Poverty Flats. The place south of town where there's never a lack of cactus or tumbleweeds or flatness (except, of course, for the lone, low hill that rises to the Olympian height of perhaps twenty feet, where the gods do dwell, and where they survey their domain and note the mortals who traipse therein....). Poverty, the place I often go when there's nowhere else worth going. Sweet, sweet Poverty!

Yep, have to agree with Jerry. You pretty well captured the desolation of this particular area.

I like the image a lot, but ... that's not flat. I was raised on a wheat farm in central Kansas. There was a very small hill outside of a nearby town ..... and it actually had a name. 😎

Oh, non, mon frère! Poverty is indeed flat, but unlike the flatnesses elsewhere expressed --as in Kansas and other such places-- 'my' Poverty is a defined sort of poverty. Defined by ridges and cliffs and the rise toward the heights of mighty mountains and all manner of suchlike accoutremont [sp?, whatever...] that surrounds and contains it. Poverty is so well defined that when of curiosity I did gaze into my dictionary, a picture (though NOT one of mine, dammit) accompanied the very definition of Poverty.
But if anyone's named the Olympian hill where the gods of Poverty dwell, I've yet to hear of it. Perhaps I shall, and thus become godlike myself. Hey, it could happen, no?

No! It's too late. You have already surpassed that height!

I always prefer seeing one, or even several great images, as opposed to endless scrolling through mediocrity.
