The Amazing Palouse - Photoblog

The Palouse region in eastern Washington is renowned for its rolling farmlands and miles of scenic byways. It is a remarkable destination for photographers and visitors alike—especially in June, when wheat and lentil fields transform the landscape into a tapestry of vibrant green tones.

I have visited the region several times, and this photoblog brings together a selection of my favorite images from those trips.
