Photo of the Week 2011-03-21

across spring fields


I was out for a drive this weekend in search of something ... a sign that winter is gone? ... a break from the stress o the day-job? ... a distraction? ... something.

The morning was overcast and sun had risen behind a curtain of thick grey cloud. Lighting was flat and dull, the wind carried a bitter chill. The morning was not looking promising, but eventually the clouds started to break up and we stopped beside the road to see if a patch of sunlight would reach the adjacent field or the distant farm. No such dramatic light for me to capture on this day, but a subtle, diffused glow began to warm the corn stalk stubble of this spring field.

Against the cold grey sky, the contour of the fields were mirrored in the clouds.

... from "The Horizontal Element" collection.
