Description
All the dense green areas are apple orchards near Lake Chelan in eastern-central Washington State.
While western Washington is green and wet, eastern Washington looks like the hills in the background...dry and brown except where irrigation is the norm.
Details best seen in zoom.

Love this shot. Nice thing about Washington, we have just about every climate in one state, From rain-forests to deserts and a little bit in between

This is magnificent, Bill! There are 5 main bands of color, then those are subdivided into smaller band of even more color. A gorgeous photo of where the verdant green meets the desert.

Very beautiful capture Bill! Love the contrast between the lush foreground and the dry hills in backround!

I'm with the above. This is one splendid shot, Bill. And you've got this very soft feeling to the hills and the clouds, which makes them almost a dream. The clouds are like cotton or fleece, and the hills almost feel painted on. Wonderful contrasts, with the deep dark greens of the bottom half, next to the paler pinks and beige-oranges of the hills, and all those blues and whites in the sky. Big, sweeping and magisterial, and very inviting too. This has so many of your qualities as a photographer: You get monumentality while also making it delicate and intimate. Those qualities don't often go together, but they do in a ton of your work. Splendid. (And the dark reflections in the far-water are beautiful too.)

Reminds me of parts of northern California. And apples, I have apple mush with my oats every breakfast. Makes breakfast extra yummie. Wonderful work with the colors here. Keep up the good work! :-)

Beautiful scene.

The pale hills and the vivid greens highlight what irrigation does for an arid land! I can't think of driving through Eastern Washington without thinking of Chuck and his "waste of daylight hours." :P
