Palouse Curves

I took this from top of Steptoe Butte - near Colfax, WA. While waiting for sunset shots of hills around Palouse, I noticed this "S" shaped curve in the road leading to the top of the butte.

The rolling hills near Idaho/Washington border is a wonderful landscape - and one of the most fertile regions. The loess near Palouse, Colfax were most likely formed due to fine volcanic ash blown by wind over the ages. From a vantage spot ("steptoe"), views are dramatic particularly during dawn and dusk.

comments welcome..

Excellent composition, I like also the contrast between the nature and sharp black curve of the way. Perfect photo, congratulations!

Ver good, classical composition, intresting subject, but to much cold colours.
