Photos from the Bluff Country of the Mississippi River

Last week I was in the Bluff County of the Mississippi River teaching a photography workshop. This area has a unique geology that feels atypical of the rest of the Midwest. It’s a section of the landscape that wasn’t flattened by the glaciers, so it has many rolling hills, steep valleys, scenic rivers, and towering palisades. It’s also known as the Driftless Area. For photographers, it’s an unknown gem. My group were the only people with tripods at every location that we visited.
