Picture of the Day - Monday, August 12, 2013

Today's shot I call Life and Death in the Valley.   It was taken a number of years ago out on Bollinger Canyon Road.  It always amazes me that I live is a VERY populated area, yet you can drive a few minutes and still find hills, fields and farms.  I wonder how long they will last. :(

When I started looking back at old shots that I have taken, I realize how different my style is now than when I first started shooting with my Digital SLR.  There is a lot about this picture that I would change if I were to re-take it, but the basic contrast between the young mustard plants and the old, dead plant in the middle is still striking to me. 

I hope you enjoy it.
