Description
The rolling hills and the contours and shapes of the Palouse catch the shadows and light at the end of the day as seen from Steptoe Butte in late spring.
From Wikipedia Online Encyclopedia:
The Palouse (/pəˈluːs/ pə-looss) is a region of the northwestern United States, encompassing parts of southeastern Washington, north central Idaho and, in some definitions, extending south into northeast Oregon. It is a major agricultural area, primarily producing wheat and legumes. Situated about 160 miles (260 km) north of the Oregon Trail, the region experienced rapid growth in the late 19th century, and at one time, the population of the Palouse surpassed even that of the Puget Sound area as the most populous region of the state. The region is home to two land grant universities, the University of Idaho in Moscow and Washington State University in Pullman. Located just eight miles (13 km) apart, both schools opened in the early 1890s.

Thanks so much, Mark. You could spend weeks in the area and still find landscapes to shoot. I hope to return.
