The area represented here is on the eastern edge of the scablands, where they run into the Palouse country. This transitional countryside, dotted with fading farm towns, has intimate valleys where the farmer's efforts create green and gold fields (depending on the time of year), between basalt cliffs and outcroppings that show the bones of the earth breaking through the topsoil flesh. The light, early or late, ignites the landscape, etching it like laser cut model train scenery, revealing every minute detail.
