A uniquely scenic, but little-known place

In a corner of eastern Washington state, spilling over into Idaho, is the wheat-farming area known as the Palouse. This relatively unknown area of rolling hills covers hundreds, if not thousands, of square miles, and is a delight to the photographer. I recently spent a few days there, and the photos below give a taste of what the region is like. Click on the images for a larger view.
