They all have their appeal :-). Growing up in the flat, dry plains of north Texas, I have a definite fondness for small town mid-west. I also loved, for example, the mountains and (rain) forests of the Pacific Northwest, but there’s a certain quality of “home” here in the mid-west.

…. it is at that. It says something (about me) that I find this more interesting and pleasing than the typical mountain range shot.
