Palouse, Essence of Place

August in the Palouse, is about the harvest of golden wheat fields, farm equipment, tractor trailers and storage bins. As I review the images I captured the first two days of my visit, the amazing golden colors of rolling hills and fields dominate my work. I truly had never seen the vastness of the farm fields, as in the Palouse, nor the stretches of dusty dirt roads disappearing into the landscape that weave them together.

    Really nice work and yes I think you caught the essence of the place. I'm partial to the first one. It has that early morning feel. Can practically smell those golden fields.
