This is Iowa

This is central Iowa, north of Iowa City.  This part of the state is mostly fields and farms, but there is a quality that gentles the mind in these particularly pastoral settings. Perhaps it is that there is no place for the eye to stop, so the mind just continues to travel endlessly and peacefully along.
