Images of America #5: Nebraska

Nebraska is often thought of as that long boring stretch between the Rockies and the verdant midwest. But despite its length and lack of imposing landscapes, if one leaves I-80, there are many interesting stops that are typical of the Great Plains, and undeniably American images. Traveling west to east, the landscape changes from vast sandy ranches to the lush flatland green of cornfields.

A typical scene in the dry western part of the Cornhusker state.
