Starved Rock is one of my favorite parks.  Living in Illinois, most of the landscape is flat and rather uninspiring, at least near Chicago and the middle part of the state.  We grow a lot of corn and soy and that's about what you see.  Starved rock features sandstone cliffs along the rivers edge, deep canyons and lovely hiking trails.  Here are some photos from a recent trip there. TTV landscape photograph for sale, Starved Rock sandstone cliffSandstone Cliff

For a real treat, check it out in the winter when you can catch dramatic frozen waterfalls.  Last winter was too warm but I took the following photos in February 2011.
