hills - something you don't see in Chicago

I take lots of photos from the car... here's another one, taken a few years ago on our way to see friends in North Carolina.

This photo was taken somewhere around the North Carolina/Virginia border. Another foggy morning, you can see it just starting to lift off the hills.

Don't get me wrong - I love living in the midwest, and especially love Chicago.  I've lived here almost exactly half of my life now.  But the FIRST half of my life was spend growing up in the mountains of West Virginia, then the hills of western Virginia. And no matter how long I live in the midwest, I don't think I'll ever be completely used to how unnaturally flat it is here.
