I was fortunate enough last weekend to be able to travel to Eastern Washington State near Spokane for a wedding. An amazing couple and no question the #beckweddingever2016. On the return journey from the wedding I decided to take a sidetrip to Palouse Falls, near the town of Washtucna. This amazing geologic oddity is right flat square in the middle of nowhere, but that only adds to it's already significant charm. You will notice that I have actually added no images of the falls themselves, but only the surrounding terrain. I was amazed by how much there is to see here! There are copious numbers of images of the falls in all conditions, but I did not see a ton of shots of the periphery terrain which I found to be just as beautiful as the falls themselves. Still waters, golden hour light, very few people and deep blue skies left a lasting impression on me. No wonder this is Washington State's official Waterfall!
These columnar basalt pillars guard over the top of the falls and remind me a lot of formations in the Crater Lake area in Oregon. they willingly accept the very last vestiges of sunlight and are warm to the touch a half hour after sundown!
