This is a view from Steptoe Butte in eastern Washington. Steptoe is a 3,612-foot (1,101 m) quartzite outcrop in the Palouse area and about an hour south of Spokane.

I do not often take panoramas nor do I often use my phone for photos but it easier to do panoramas on my phone than with my DSLR, so here's a phone panorama from the top of Stepttoe Butte in Eastern Washington. The quartzite butte is 3,612 feet (1,101 m) high and stands above the surrounding country like beacon. The views from the Palouse are over the surrounding hills of the Palouse an area of rolling hills that is largely given to wheat farming. The butte is about an hour south of Spokane.

This is what a winter drive through the northern part of the Palouse is like - not very exciting and not much to see.

As one travels north through the Palouse, an area of rolling hills and wheat farms, the land levels out into vast plains where the farms are isolated and miles apart. This photo was taken in that area.

This old truck was photographed along the road in the area known as the Palouse, an area of wheat farms and rolling hills. We would have liked to have gotten closer but the area was marked "No Trespassing."

Another shot from the Palouse taken while driving back north after finding Palouse Falls State Park closed.

The Palouse is an area of hills and farmland in southeastern Washington, western Idaho and northeastern Oregon. It is primarily used for growing wheat and this is what the wheat country looks like in winter.

Another photo from one of our summer trips to eastern Washington. We love these wide open spaces, big skies and colorful fields. In the area where this was taken one is still quite near the Columbia River and its many dams and hydroelectric plants and the towers which carry the electricity to those who need it are common.

When we traveled through eastern Washington in August they were combining and most of the fields were already finished, but we found this field where they were still working and stopped to take pictures. This was also the end of his last run and he already has his boom extended to unload into the waiting trucks.
