Description
Located in the northwestern United States, The Palouse includes parts of Washington as well as Idaho and Oregon. The area’s picturesque, rolling silt dunes were formed during the ice ages. The vast Palouse Prairie once grew grasses and abundant wildlife but today nearly all of the land is devoted to agricultural crops. The area has become the most important lentil growing region in the US.
The gently rolling hills of wheat, lentils, barley, peas and canola mean spectacular panoramic views, especially from higher elevations. This photo was taken atop Steptoe Butte, a 3,612 tall quartzite butte that looms above the flat farmlands. From the top, the eye can see for 200 miles.

The light couldn't have been more perfect to highlight this tidy farm - the red barn and yellow shed? are like jewels in all that green. Beautiful lines.

Thank you so much for your comments, Priscilla and Debra & Dave, those curves and undulating greens make for some very unique vistas. And, thanks for the Feature in Barns Big and Small; I really appreciate it.
