Clouds above the Landscape by Gary Hamburgh - All Rights Reserved
I mentioned in a post a few weeks ago how clouds can be an important compositional element to balance an image. As I was in the Palouse last week, I saw this cloud formation that I decided to shoot as the main object of an image. This was taken just before sunrise as colors were beginning to show at first light.
In this image the clouds reminded me of a fountain spouting from the rolling hills. The uncluttered landscape and skies are one of my favorite aspects of the Palouse.
A trip to this region of eastern Washington can allow you to experience this beautiful simplicity.
