Yesterday I showed one version of what I consider a classic Palouse image, looking down from Steptoe Butte. The other classic type shot is the rolling hills, with white puffy clouds in a blue sky.
But of course I always have to do my own thing, don't I? So for the first day of my Palouse series I'm choosing one of my favorites from the trip. There's a bit more going on in this image. Rather than just graphical elements (nothing wrong with that), this image gives you the sense that the Palouse is working farm country. I'm standing in a "Palouse road," a mown path for their equipment. We have a piece of equipment in the shot.
That is a canola field on the right, BTW.
What makes this composition for me, and what made me just stop in my tracks when I was there, is how this "road" leads my eye down to the tree, and then that fence just draws me in.
This is your Bob Towery version of a classic Palouse morning.
