Arrived home from a most-of-a-week-long trip to Southeastern Washington, including a photo workshop out on the Palouse. Haven't quite got my legs back under me yet...luckily, I included a day off before heading back to work...but, since I had to work on shots for presentation and review during the 'shop, we won't have to wait around through my notoriously slow processing for at least a small taste.
The first was taken near Starbuck, southeast of Palouse Falls, from Cemetery Hill Road; the next two are pure Palouse, taken near Kamiak Butte. Thanks for looking. Dave
Wowwww, Dave. That rolling green wave is a mindbender! Superb series my friend. All bring out the unique quality of this region; and your compositions and processing are excellent.
PS I didn't realise that Starbucks had got into the Palouse!
Terrific set, Dave! I wish I'd had more time last Labor Day weekend to explore the area, and it was all gold and brown, from the recent harvest, so these of brilliant green are really amazing! I love the 2nd and 3rd....Lovely pieces showing the rolling terrain, and with gorgeous lighting. The road shot is extra cool!!
Hey, Dave
Looks like you had a nice trip and as seems to be always the case, you have brought back superb photographic trophies. The lemming I am, I'd pick number 2 for top honors, but I would be very proud indeed had I captured anything even close to any of them. The Palouse is on my list, and close to the top.
Excuse me while I gaze at them again!
Well done!

How green the place is. Second shot is my favorite.
...and yet pretty dry and very dusty, depending on where you drive and/or aim! Thanks. Dave

Beautiful images of an area high on my list to visit. Another vote for the second one. Ute
Well worth your time, Ute! I'd love to see what you could do with the textures of the place...just leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way back out of there! Thanks. Dave

Its the Third image that that captures my imagination. Really nice shot thank you for sharing.
The Third is my favorite of this first batch as well...the flatness of this spot really seems to emphasize the hills and wrinkles of the Palouse in my mind. thanks. Dave
Ooooooh! I think the first shot is awesome. When I realized that I was looking down a hill that's as steep as the one in the distance, I felt dizzy! Now that's a landscape!
Second shot is my favorite.
