Okay, so they aren’t exactly crop circles, but I like the lines and patterns in the fields of the Palouse. The hillsides create the templates, and the machinery follows the curves of the land. It’s rare to find straight furrows; rather, the plantings follow the gentle undulations of the topography, swooping to the right, then the left, then back again…
Then, as more machinery drives over the fields, different patterns are made again. This time, wider and deeper impressions are made in the crops, sometimes paralleling the planting rows, and sometimes making their own random patterns.
I look forward to returning and seeing the patterns created during the harvest…
