"Palouse Windmills"

The Palouse Region ~ Washington ~ USA

I would prefer not to see structures like these windmills on this beautiful landscape. So, this is a scene that would not normally appeal to me as a landscape photographer. But, then there was this beautiful dappled light on these gorgeous rolling green hills and suddenly I could hear Maverick's voice, from "Topgun", in my head: "Sir, I was only below the hard deck for a few seconds. There was no danger to me or my crew [photography gear], so I took the shot, sir!"

Well anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

All comments are welcome.

Beautiful image and an original view! Actually the vertical elements help balance all the horizontals.
Thanks for sharing.

There is a unique beauty to wind turbines on the landscape, maybe partly due to the love/hate relationship we have. They often remind me of the movie, "War of the Worlds" and certainly add a fascinating contrast to their surroundings.

The light was awesome for your image and it's very enjoyable to view!

I have lived just a few hours from the Palouse for almost 14 years now and still haven't gotten over there!

Beautiful landscape, you did a great job. I hate seeing wind turbines, just like I do cell towers. I guess they serve their purpose, but like most things that are beneficial, there is always a down side. Good job anyway.

Love the soft colours in the image. I must say, it would have been a stronger image without the wind turbines...but we can't do much about that now can we.

Super photo Tex. The dappled light adds a lot to those rolling hills

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Linda Shorey, you must go over to the Palouse! Next June for sure! My wife and I flew up from Southern California and spent five days in Pullman, the second week of June. We had a fantastic experience. You can see more diverse Palouse images on my Facebook page. Just search my name.
