One of my favorite places to photograph is in western palm beach county in close proximity to Belle Glade. It’s like being in a far away place when you consider the terrain where I live. Thankfully it’s only approximately 30 miles from where I live.
Urban sprawl, pedestrians, and sounds of automobiles are replaced by vast open expanses, wildlife, and the occasional hum of a tractor in the distance.
My girlfriend was interested in taking the drive with me on this particular evening and it was a race to beat the sun as it was setting.
The cane fields that surrounded my vehicle were at least 6 feet high at the time and my goal was to find an area that would allow a landscape picture showcasing a field.
After miles of driving we cam upon a gate that was open and a narrow path alongside a field. After several minutes of driving I was happy to find a clearing that allowed me to take this shot.
I thought the title was most fitting.
That is spectacular Robert. It looks like the sky and the field are made of mica.
Thank you Chris! It was a great day. Looking forward to traveling out west again soon.
terrific shot – those small plants (sugar cane?) receding into the distance are perfect for this composition
Thank you! I really enjoyed how it came out. Prints well too! Looking to make a very large print to test the waters.
