PALOUSE
In the northwest of the United States, The Inland Empire—or, The Wheat Belt—encompasses parts of southeastern Washington, north-central Idaho, and northeast Oregon. This wonderful land mainly produces wheat, lentils, peas, and the like. Its name possibly originated from the French pelouse, meaning land with short and thick grass (well so they say!!). From April to June, this land is a beautiful patchwork of greens and thus a paradise for photographers. I had some time in early October and could not resist the wait, so we flew to Seattle, and by car crossed the state from west to east, upon arrival I was overtaken by the golden spectacle of yellows and browns it was breathtaking. Pinpointed by scattered farm houses, the inner mood that this vast extension of land produces can only be described as a gentle and peaceful melancholy, and one truly does not desire to depart.
