The end of summer harvest is busy.
The dune-like loess hills in The Palouse are incredibly fertile - producing wheat, barley, lentils and yellow canola.
Bright red or white barns are scattered across the landscape nestled in the wind breaks planted around the farm homes.

There they stay during the night. My Flickr friend Rebecca explained Bred Last meaning in Swedish is Wide Load.
Ventspils has regular ferry service with Nynäsham, so blue Scania probably will go to Sweden...
Decided to take a few minutes and try some extended exposures of Lords Lake and Green Mountain under the morning sky.

Early May in The Palouse farming country is a busy time. The sun rises at 5am and sets at 8pm, so the crop dusters, giant tractors and all of the other heavy equipment are in full use. The first photo caught one of two yellow crop dusters and a busy tractor from ¾ of the way up Steptoe Butte. The second one was taken just at the exit road from the Butte. People are busy but friendly, willing to stop and chat on a beautiful 72 degree F/22 degree C Spring day.
Actually, there are more than just these three photos for the weekly challenge "My Favorite Things."
There’s a story behind them, but I’ll keep it short.
Very few people enjoy waking up early in the morning, especially when they are warm and comfortable in bed. Looking out the window, it's cold, stormy, and raining—hardly inviting.
But then, there are those rare moments when everything aligns perfectly—the weather, the timing, the light. That’s when I jump out of bed, head to the living room, grab my camera and tripod, maybe even a second prime lens, and get ready for a long trip.
Well, not really that long. I just open the balcony door, set up everything, take a few photos, then head back inside to enjoy some fresh coffee, take a shower, and start my day.
This is one of my favorite things in the morning—waking up, jumping out of bed, and capturing beautiful moments. And the best part? Every day is a little different.
Luebeck, Germany, 2026
Usually I walk to work and I am lucky as my route goes past a lake. Watching the silhouette of the old town every workday morning from the very same viewpoint lead to this version.
This is the view from my office which is on the 14th floor in an office building in Vienna. We do have floor to ceiling windows and it's an amazing part of going to work.
