The Palouse River runs through a narrow cataract and drops 200 feet to a churning bowl. From there, the current moves swiftly, through a winding gorge of columnar basalt, to its southern end at the mighty Snake River. Carved more than 13,000 years ago, Palouse Falls is among the last active waterfalls on the Ice Age Floods path. This natural wonder was named Washington’s state waterfall in 2014, when the state Legislature passed a bill written by local schoolchildren, who advocated for the designation.

Had the chance to visit with my wife, alas, it was teh first time she had been with me when i have taken the 4×5 camera with me. She was walking around while I spent 30 minutes taking this one shot. Needless to say, she was not amused. To fix this on future trips into the Palouse area, she will have a drone to fly while I shoot the landscape. In the image, you can see just the outline of the edge of the sheet of film.
