over yonder
Way over there
Over yonder means over there, at some distance but usually within sight.
The phrase is regional, common in Southern American English and rural dialects: The barn's over yonder, past the creek.
Yonder itself indicates something farther than "there" but not impossibly far—visible or at least known.
Over yonder adds mild emphasis to the distance.
