Washington state, USA, looking northeasterly. This area is noted for its agricultural productivity, originally mostly orchards but now including lots of vineyards. They also grow some hops. We're on the grounds of a winery looking out over an apple orchard. The crops are watered by irrigation from the Yakima River (itself tributary to the Columbia) and its tributaries. It drains eastward off the Cascade Mountains. "Yakima" is pronounced YAK-i-mah, btw. It's also the name of the local Native American tribe.
