I live about 6 maybe 7 hours from Palouse I am near the HOH rainforest on the coast. The Palouse is completely the opposite of the rain shrouded mountains and lush old growth forest I know. I plan to drive over there late summer and just be out on the wide open with my black and white film.
The geology narrative at the beginning is incorrect. The terminal moraines from Pleistocene glaciation are well to the north of your videos - they are up near Spokane. The glaciers never made it as far south as the Palouse (area drained by the Palouse River). The topography of the Palouse is the result of mostly basalt bedrock (Steptoe Butte is an "island" of Precambrian quartzite) shaped by stream erosion that was then blanketed by wind-deosited silt (loess) mostly derived from the deposits of catastrophic outburst floods that repeatedly swept through the central part of the Columbia Basin to the west.
Born in Spokane and raised on the Palouse. I'm sure I have wheat dust in my veins. I love the Palouse. It's my old stomping grounds.
Great! Another video to draw the masses to an American icon that has only been known to photographers in past years!
Such a delight to see my back yard turn into a photo destination.
Definitely one for the bucket list! Thanks for the great video.
