Lone Tree

I was over in the Wa State palouse country last week.  In the midst of cutting the wheat, soy, lentils, etc...and dry weather... a different look and feel than the usual spring-time shooting.  So imagine my surprise seeing 20+ photographers on Steptoe Butte mid-week to shoot the sunrise.   The good-old days of no crowds in the off-season are becoming history.  

This is a lone cottonwood surrounded by recently cut stubble from a wheat field.  The clouds were terrific as the sun was setting.
