Photo Friday: Quiet and Still

The area near the Columbia River Basin in central Washington is very dry and arid, a high desert type of climate. Here sage brush flourishes and large treeless tracts are the norm. Above the Frenchman Coulee on a beautiful February twilight I waited as the sun dipped below the horizon and watched as the area was bathed in purple and magenta hues. I was content to simply sit and capture the scene as the light dwindled into nothingness.
