Our Daily Sykes #16 – 2 Poplars

pdorpat

Two poplars but where?  Horace Sykes does not tell us.  To me one looks Okanogan and the other Palouse, or vice versa.  Are they poplars?  My best evidence is based only on “family resemblance.”  Anyone in our family would have called these stately trees poplars.

Here Mike is a detail of the ridge lines for mountains far beyond the long and winding road in Horace Sykes landscape. As you can tell Sykes had a built-in pictorialist soft filter in his camera, that is his lens was not the best. Those ridges look sort of typical - except to someone who has been living with or near them, I think. Paul
