After The Rain

2008.03.10
“The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry..." Henry David Thoreau——(Please enlarge)

Two days ago torrential rain washed away the snow on this field. In time it will be turned and planted.

“Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.”—

Henry David Thoreau

Peche I love Thoreau and the way you've married his words with this picture. It's that idea that what once was is back; that a landscape, though changing, beneath it all remains the same, but changes in season to adapt, to give, to prosper.
Great composition - I like the way the lines meet up on that slight angle.

Beagles3 I wonder what will be planted in this field. It will be interesting if you continue to take the pictures of the same field as the season progress.

oldbabe Oh, it's very nice enlarged. Looks like strip farming - winter rye being the green? I'll bet it looks like a quilt with an aerial shot. I always like to look at the patchwork of fields from the sky.
