Part I: The Illustrated "Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". Chapters 1 thru 7.  
 Minnesota Lakes and Marshes Change to Farmland.  "I’ve wondered why it took us so long to catch on. We saw it and yet we didn’t see it. Or rather we were trained not to see it. Conned, perhaps, into thinking that the real action was metropolitan and all this was just boring hinterland. It was a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I’m looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling." [Note: "Seeing truth" and "not seeing truth" are an emphasized and recurring theme in ZMM. Thus this passage introduces us one of many "ZMM Master Motifs" as explained in the Guidebook to Zen and the Art of motorcycle Maintenance".].   Rt55 Railroad Overpass 3 Mi West of Kimball, MN. The overpass raises the traveler high enough to see the surrounding land. This is the view to the East. Rt55 from Minneapolis to this point, is mostly flat swamp-land with an abundance of trees, and it is hard to get a good landscape photograph. For this reason I took advantage of the modest increase of elevation here to attempt my first (ever) 360 deg full circle panorama.
