Going on a three day photo shoot of the Driftless area in NE Iowa. While there I will be taking shots of the river valleys and some of the old stone structures throughout the landscape. I will also be using this trip for scouting locations for Fall colors and a return trip in October to those sites.
The Driftless Area or Paleozoic Plateau is a region in the American Midwest noted mainly for its deeply carved river valleys. While primarily in southwestern Wisconsin, it includes areas of southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa and extreme northwestern Illinois. The region includes elevations ranging from 603 to 1,719 feet (184 to 524 m) and covers an area of 16,203 square miles (42,000 km2). The region's peculiar terrain is the result of its having escaped glaciation in the last glacial period.
The views from the bluffs of the Mississippi River valley are a sight to behold. One night we will be staying in an old limestone warehouse/button factory which has been converted into a motel along the river, this structure is built of limestone and is around 150 years old. Upon my return trip I will be heading north to an old time thresher event in the hopes of catching some working steam engines in action.
Stay tuned and keep an ey out for the upcoming photos.
