More Palouse

Bad weather has forced us to change our plans…no coast yet again (I am really beginning to believe that I am cursed!). So after an improvised camping night up at Obstruction Point at Olympic National Park, Art, Jay and myself headed back into town (that’s a total of about 15h of driving in the last 24!!). We will get some rest, then Jay and I will try our luck at Mount Rainier tomorrow.

In the meantime, I got a chance to catch up with some post-processing. Here is another shot, from my second day at the Palouse on the way up to Steptoe Butte. I’ll have another picture posted tomorrow, until then…

   What an extraordinarily peaceful image. I want to start walking through the grass…

   I hope all goes well on your next adventure to Rainier. Keep your mind open to new opportunities. I’ve found that if you can look past a pre-conceived expectation when things don’t line up you can often find new opportunities to explore you’d otherwise have ignored. Finding those hidden opportunities can be among the most rewarding and creatively inspiring.

     Thanks for the encouraging words Jim. I do believe that you can make great imagery in any light, but sometimes, just sometimes you wish light would cooperate . And by the way, Rainier was really nice!

   Just saw Jim Goldstein tweet this entry, thought I’d take a look. I’ve never been to the Palouse, but I’ve fallen in love with it via pictures like this. There’s something very basic about the rolling hills. My attraction seems almost hard-wired, it’s so intense and immediate.

   Just west of Mariposa, CA, are the soft rolling foothills of the Sierra Nevada. They have brought me to near-tears on occasion for their beauty. I’ve called them the Palouse of California for good reason.

   Take a gander and tell me there isn’t a similarity!

     Thanks for dropping by Edie!
     The similarity is indeed striking, expect you have better light . I think I drove by these hills a couple of years back , but didn’t know my way around enough to try and find a decent spot…next time for sure
