Billows

From Giants in the Earth by O.E. Rolvaag:

 

The wagons drifted slowly through the outspread day, creeping on through indolent, drowsy fall sunshine and blue-green haze, toward a distant sky line from which hung a quivering yellow veil. For all they drove, the sky line came no closer; but when the purple shadows of evening fell, there seemed to be a chance, at least, that they might reach it.

 

All day the landscape was the same, yet its details seemed ever changing and ever new; prairies that extended to the end of the world; prairies that billowed into slope, rose in low hills, then flattened out again and sank away into an endless plain.

 

The caravan headed for the sky; it steered straight onward.
