From the cultural and geographical identities of Minnesota, South Dakota, and Montana to the impulse you have when you think about home. Photographer Stuart Klipper was capturing panoramic compositions and he tried to define us the characteristics of some states.

This selection will definitely please your tastes and will inform you about how some regions look like.
