As quickly as time goes, at a certain age one is aware that 150 years ago was just a stones throw in time. Easy to imagine settlers moving through those parts, excited and exhausted.
The more things change, the more the nostalgia bug bites at me. Looks like Grandpa’s place. The production of farmland has looked the same for decades, I wonder if it will every change?
It will change and sooner than later. The continued release of greenhouse gases and the subsequent melting of polar ice will not only raise sea levels and swamp cities, but will also impact crop production. This is already happening in a large way and we are right up against the point of no return.
What a beautiful long range perspective ….. right into the past!

Mike the minute I opened your post it was as though you took a photo of my childhood playground. Very dramatic sky I might add.

We had different playgrounds growing up. Perhaps that is why I’m so attracted to these kind of shots as an adult.

At heart a very effective and minimalist landscape that has acquired another level through the use of split toning. This is superb, Mike.
