The Palouse
These are images from a photo fieldtrip to The Palouse located in Northwestern United States, Southeastern Washington. This area was voted as one of the top 10 scenic places in the US. The first couple pictures are captured during a sunrise from Steptoe Butte, we got lucky and received a sliver of sun. I can only imagine on a clear day, fields of colors and shadows both at sunset and sunrise.
‘Silt’ fields make this a very fertile area, miles and miles of farm land.
This is a canyon at Palouse Falls
Palouse Falls, approx 198′ (60.35m). Captured the rainbow with the help of the sun. You can get an idea how big the falls are by the people to the left of the falls.
Canola fields for as far as you can see. The aroma maybe the best I’ve ever experienced, not over powering but very pleasant. I wish I could bottle it!
Beautiful farms at every turn.
Old abandoned house screaming for me to take its picture.
All of these are absolutely beautiful! I really love the Mustard Field!
Thank you! The Mustard Fields were breathtaking…literally, I wish I could have captured the aroma. This was probably the best part of the trip, I didn’t want to leave.
These photos are really fabulous! Very nice ones you have here! Now, I need to plan a trip there!
Thank you! Yes, go! Highly recommended, easily spend a couple days shooting images in the area.
Absolutely! Now it all depends on my resources if I can make this trip happens!
I took these June 2012, make sure you go during the summer months. The internet will have a lot of info on the area. I’m going to go back myself.
Oh! So that is the best time to be there huh? OK! Thanks for the info!
Beautiful shots! Really great work!
Thank you!
Palouse is impressive as Your photos presenting it.
Thank you for your comment. This is a beautiful part of the country not well known.
Thank you for this lovely little glimpse into a new world.
You’re welcome! Its a beautiful place to visit.
Just an FYI, the yellow fields are canola plants not mustard. They grow commercial canola and cooking oil canola.
Thank you. Fixed!
