the way will have curves

I like how the artist (whose name I do not know, unfortunately) managed to make these steel cables seem to undulate, like seaweed on the ocean’s floor. Only in Oklahoma.

And a special shout out to the person who planted that gorgeous tree, which is all autumn-y and everything.

day/night: the orbs

Seriously: how did this get stuck in the ol’ archives for approximately 1,153 days before I noticed that I liked it? There are times that it seems maybe common sense has just evaporated from my brain, and this is one of those times.

undulating fields of autumn

I don’t know…there’s just something about those curvy hills – said everyone who’s been to the Palouse.

after the harvest

I know the traditional time to go to the Palouse to photograph the famous rolling hills of wheat is in the early summer, when it’s green and lush.

So, naturally I went in September*, when it was brown and dusty. (In that way, it reminded me of home.) I liked seeing the patterns in the fields and the distant columns of dust rising from a harvesting operation.

*I didn’t just wind up there in September: I went then on purpose.

Heat. And then some more heat. That was my main impression of Barstow. It was the kind of heat that dried everything out, that bleached the color until it wasn’t there.

But hey! At least people waiting for the bus got some good shade.
