We
returned to the Palouse in June spending the better part of a week traveling
around visiting places we photographed before and visiting new locations.
This
was our third visit to the Palouse and we found beautiful, breath
taking green fields; wheat fields, and canola fields. We found old barns, farmhouses, trucks and
bar stools. We were also been fortunate to
see neat grain silos and crop dusters.

The
Palouse offers a little of everything for a photographer as we hope we’ve
proved with the images in this post. You
need to drive with your eyes open and not be in a rush to get somewhere you
think you need to be; if you rush you’ll miss the little things that can turn out more beautiful than you imaged.

friendly people.

While
the majority of these images were captured off a paved road the remaining ones
were captured off dirt roads. Drive the
area and you’ll see dirt roads that often have signs indicating that no road
marking will be found on them. These
roads offer a treasure trove of interesting spots to view, breathtaking vistas
as well as abandoned farmhouses. Please
respect the privacy of the hard working people in the area and take only
photographs.
There
are plenty of maps to choose from that give excellent information; what is also
needed are GPS coordinates as some of the back roads can be extremely
confusing. We added some information
below as an aid to finding some of the locations we visited and
photographed. These are named after what
we thought best described them (at least to us). Please use caution as we are
not libel for any errors.
