BLUE AND GOLD

 

More blue and gold loveliness from our recent visit to Eastern Washington.

Pretty sure these are all different pictures from the roadtrip landscapes posted the other day for Our World.

For this post, linked to SKYWATCH FRIDAY,  I tried to include those that best showed the beautiful blue.  Except for the amazing sunset we had the first night of this trip, the skies were cloudless.

I know that wind machines are controversial in many places, but I liked the way they looked lined up against the sky.  I don't think that Eastern Washington is a major bird flyway, so I hope they are OK here.  There is definitely a lot of wind.

    Love that last shot; great texture and color.

    Endless seas of gold under brilliant blue skies. I find the wind turbines sculptural but don’t like them because of the birds and bats.

    Excellent shots and the blue and gold colors make them pop. I’m one of those against the wind turbines for the birds’ sake. Enjoy your travels and keep coming back to share!

    I remember years ago seeing a wind farm on the hills of Shetland. It seemed a blot on the
    And scape then. Now the wind turbines are a fact of life….

    Beautiful landscapes where sky meets land, that is what I love about the west, here we have so many trees its hard to see the horizon!

    Hadn’t thought about “blue & gold” in this context, but it’s a perfect description for these photos!

  21. Hildred

    Gorgeous countryside, Sallie. And nicely captured.

    Beautiful rural landscapes Sallie!

  23. Dina J

    Beautiful shots! I think those wind turbines look cool. We saw them recently leaving the Grand Canyon. I didn’t think about the bird injuries though. Yuk!

  24. Photo Cache

    this could also easily be california. it is golden like this now here too.

  25. TexWisGirl

    oh, love the last shot! love to see combines in the fields, too.

    The blue sky and golden field look beautiful together, Sallie! Lovely captures! Have a happy weekend!

    Beautiful landscapes!
    Each photo I looked at I kept thinking ‘amber waves of grain’.
    I for one love the wind turbines. Whenever we are traveling and see some we try to get as close as possible. Something about them draws me in. 🙂
    Thanks so much for your sweet comments about my little Grandgirls. Don’t know what we did without them. 🙂

  28. Jim

    Good combo.

  29. Carver

    Beautiful skies and rural scenery.
