The Amazing Palouse

  

The area just north of the Snake River in Eastern Washington and Central Idaho is known as The Palouse. The land is uncommonly rich and extraordinarily 'bumpy', which provides both promise and challenge to the farmers in that region.  At dawn and dusk, shadows create breathtaking relief, irresistible to photographers.

The Horse Heaven Hills






 My favorite place to wander near home is the area known as the Horse Heaven Hills.  When I see clouds coming from the south, it's my cue to head to the 'hills'.  The view from there is 360 degrees...like I'm 'On Top of the World'.
