And yet another one. The Palouse is one of the most beautiful, man-modified landscapes I've ever seen. I don't know if spring / early summer is the best time to visit, but the mix of bare acres, fresh green grass and this years crop just starting to peek out of the ground all make for a lot of interesting patterns.

Hi Adrian,

You captured amazing tracks of works. Natural slope of furrowed, green fields are really splendid with their unique texture but here you very cleverly saw and add tracks too. Amazing one under incomparable cloudy sky. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Hi Adrian,
great photo, very well reduced to the essentials, but impressive due to this minimalism. The sky is great, and so are the traces of the tractor, adding direction and dimension to the shot.
Regards, Johannes

Hi Adrian,
You capture a great color and fantastic sky. Thank you.

Wow. It's all so perfect- green grass, blue sky, clouds, etc., but those tracks just pick it up a notch to something we haven't seen- like in some allergy pill ad or something- you know what I mean? It's a great, unexpected graphic element. Wonderful!

Hello Adrian,

Hahaha, that would be a perfect replacement for the standard Windows XP desktop picture :-). The original one is also a kind of landscape with some clouds, but this one feels wonderfully natural. Nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hey Adrian,
I first noticed the fantastic sky and the clouds. when i opened the photo I also saw what you saw: the furrows and the terrain mirror the clouds. Great work.

Adrian,
This one's in the good palouse camp! The sky - although there's plenty of it - really takes a back seat to these strange etchings on the land: traces of work, signs of life, practical or artistic - who's to know?
Regards
Colin

Salut Adrian,

Tres bien vue ca!

Simple but very beautiful. The blue on the sky is very gentle, very light and I love that hue. The rolling green hills in the bottom complement the scene very well. I like it a lot.

Hey there - Amazing shot - the patterns on the hill are out of this world. Plus what youve done with the sky - this is a real piece of art!
Top work,
Dave
