- Wisconsin.
A landscape of endless variety,
carved by water,
shaped by human hands,
remote wild stretches
of limitless forest.
Wooded bluffs,
steely ports,
wetlands stretching for miles.
Breathtaking,
sparkling,
dazzling.
From towering pines
to shimmering cities

- The sun rises in Wisconsin.
A new day begins.
First light
along Lake Michigan's shore.
First flight
off Door County's eastern edge.
Our journey begins in the northern reaches.
A land of rocky coasts,
deep forests,
and stunning beauty.
Wisconsin is a place of many moods
and many vistas,
and the view from here
has few equals.
This journey along the northern tier
reveals a landscape rich with scenic treasures.
Exploring the north,
where water meets land and sky.

A new dawn reveals
acres of endless Wisconsin farmland,
farmland stretching Wiscfar beyondland,
the day's horizon.
Within the late summer landscape
places of gathering,
community, and memories.
Soaring over the cultivated fields,
we rise to see the abundance of this fertile place.
For generations of families,
this land has provided
a home, a livelihood, a life.
The rolling fabric of fields
leads on.
Leads on towards the wilderness,
towards the water
as we journey from the Great River
to the Great Lake.

A shimmering Wisconsin morning
as first daylight warms the capital city.
The sun rises to dance across the dome.
It's a new day,
fresh with promise
on land
and nearby water.
The wind carries us
past the sights of the city,
and open water
yields to emerald hillsides
as our journey continues
from treasured landmarks
to timeless landscapes.

[door clinks shut, rotors whirring]
- Ready to go?
- We're clear for takeoff.
- A day can last a couple of hours,
and then there's times it can last 14 hours.
It really depends on how much you have to shoot
and what light you want.
- Laurie Gorman: There were definitely a lot of details
and moving parts to keep straight
- I'll let you be the judge.
You want to shoot it, we'll shoot it.
- Mary Pokorney-Donelan: I would concentrate on that, for sure.
- All right, then move north? - Mary: Yep.
- Good.
[helicopter blades chopping]
- We literally toured the whole state.
It was awesome!
- To see it from a vantage point
that generally most people don't get the see.
It's the view of the bird,
a bird's eye view.
