I decided to go big or go home
Feedback welcomed!
See titles for details. These are hops fields, with a few orchards in some backgrounds.
Many thanks.
I learned that they leave the old knots in place (from autumn harvest), and just string new twine up beside them.

This hops field may be idle this year, but there is life!

Nearly everything green in the Yakima Valley is due to irrigation from mountain snow melt, the Yakima River Project , or an underground aquifer.

Thanks so much, Dodie! That purple field intrigued me. Wish I could have parked and walked closer, but that's almost never an option in these agricultural areas.
My camera's "auto" white balance was challenged by the field of purple with yellow-reddish poles. I shoot in raw and set my WB in an editor anyway, but was weird to see what was showing up in the viewfinder.
I thought I smelled beer…
Thanks for the great set
As usual, all good, Linda, but #1 does it for me. I love your use of the light.
Very nice Linda. I love the perspectives!

You know, I think I smelled hops when I was out there; someone had asked last time I posted shots, and I had only remembered harvest time.
Thanks much!
I like the first two, the first for the color and silhouette. The second for the tractor, working the field.
Very interesting series, especially #1 and #2.
Beautiful images Linda. I really like the first one with the pattern of repetition and the warm colors.
This is a great set of photos, Linda, and the first is my favorite. Do you know what the guy on the tractor is doing (other than driving it, of course
)?
