The Long View #15221

The Story

Here lies a simple farming landscape in winter with wispy clouds high above the openness. Only a solitary walnut tree between the wide fields breaks the scene as the long unwinding road leads on. The feathered wispies in the sky above are lofted high and still.

Where to? the road asks. Come along and find out it adds, pulling the eye and the mind forward. There is a nearly magical draw here and that country road certainly compels an answer.

Black and white was the best choice here to accent the wide-open starkness; the color version didn’t have the same feel or carry the imagination as well.
