entry description
This aerial shot was taken over eastern Washington during springtime when the young wheat is bright green. Like other kinds of grass, wheat leaves have a sheen to them. In the Palouse, the wheat’s luster is accentuated by the sinuous curves of the land. Other areas have been stripped bare for the planting of a cover crop, which, when seen from above, cut through the hilly emerald field like a freshly paved road—the Lombard Street of the Palouse.back to gallery
