Rolling hills under big skies, marshes filled with a silence that is only broken for the occasional frog opera, and expansive prairies with grass that quivers with even the gentlest breeze, these are the defining natural areas of the Great Plains and Midwest Landscape. This collection of scenic photographs presents my images of this diverse landscape throughout the midwestern states of South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, and my home state, Nebraska.
