The more I run about the area taking photographs, the more obsessed I become with the scenes. The Driftless Region, in case you haven't read any of my shares in the past, is an area in North America. Nestled between the states of Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin, it's an area that has a distinctive terrain. Why? The last continental glacier missed this area for thousands of years. Driftless, for all purposes, means a "lack of glacial drift."
I've been meaning to share more photos unique to this area on Hive, but haven't concentrated on a proper set of images and words to make that work. Going forward, I plan to keep this series alive with the "views of the driftless region" title to inspire me to keep sharing images from this area. I do love to take photos...and truly enjoy taking photos of this area!
This unique area of the Driftless is in Galesville, Wisconsin. It's indicative of this area; lots of farms, old barns, broken silos, and cattle. All of it is nestled in a region where the great Ice Ages never touched in this part of the world.
There is never a dull moment to photograph here...I'm always running to and from work with my camera at my side, ready to go. Most of the time, one can always count on the old geological landforms that pop up on the landscapes...you can never miss out on them as you drive along the old winding roads.
Yet, nothing really beats a scene where you enjoy the cool wind coming off an ancient hill covered in corn.
Hopefully the post made some sense...and I look forward to sharing more scenes soon!
