Not in Kansas Anymore?

At first when I started traveling I thought it was kind of cute and funny when the "you're not in Kansas anymore" jokes were made.  Haha, I'm from Kansas...and there was a movie about Kansas once...

Now it's old.  No, I don't have a dog named Toto and no, I don't have ruby slippers.  Alas...the jokes will continue, and I will probably continue the courtesy laugh and smile. 

However, a big however, the other day when John said I guess we're not in Kansas anymore, it made a lot of sense, and was rather funny - I'll explain:

We went to the Eco reserve here in Buenos Aires.  It's a beautiful, huge park at the edge of town (literally backs up to the river) that has walking and bike paths and large overgrown trees and grasses.  Sunday was a beautiful day and we spent a long time walking around the park and taking in the nature.  I was going kind of crazy with the camera taking photos of the fields when John remarked "I guess you know you aren't in Kansas anymore when you are taking pictures of fields."  It was funny to think that for really, most of my life I have lived near fields.  There was nothing special about a field - in fact, it was boring before moving to Buenos Aires.  Now it's a treat, it's a great escape from the streets and noise and bustle of a city. 

Some of the pictures, however, I took as an interesting juxtaposition - it shows the fields, grasses and nature, backlit by the skyscrapers and tall buildings of the city.
