Hello Yellow

The Wave, Coyote Buttes, Arizona

In Arizona, there is a sandstone rock formation known as 'The Wave' that is famous among hikers and photographers for its colourful, undulating forms, and rugged, trackless hike required to reach it. Probably not the yellow-est landscape, but it's close, and way too sick to leave out!

The Wave exposes large-scale, sets of 
cross-bedded eolian sandstone composed of rhythmic and cyclic alternating grainflow and windripple laminae of bright oranges and yellows. This formation represents periodic changes in the prevailing winds during the Jurassic as huge sand dunes migrated across a sandy desert. Source:

Antelope Valley, California

The Antelope Vally located in Californa is home to a wide range of plants and animals, but is famously recognised for the California poppy, which is also known as the golden poppy, California sunlight or cup of gold. This beautiful flower adds a lovely pop of colour to the landscape, making it look truly golden.

North Dakota Sunflower Fields

Which state grows the most sunflowers in the world? - Well, North Dakota of course. These gorgeous fields show off bright, big, blooming yellow sunflowers as far as the eye can see. Since 1977, North Dakota has ranked first in sunflower production - producing nearly 51% of America's total sunflowers!?
