The Palouse is pitching a shutout. I can't find a wheat field in eastern Washington to photograph even though I'm surrounded by them. Turns out mid-April is too early to capture the killer colors the Palouse is famous for. Ready to give up I make one last pass around Steptoe Butte. I come over a hill and slam my brakes. The view is breathtaking: Cloud showdows race across sun-soaked wheat fields. I press the camera shutter release cable every few seconds. I've driven this road several times but I have never seen a view or vista like this.
