Day 57: February 26th

A truly crappy picture.  This was taken while I was at a stop sign near my home.  There's a lot wrong with this picture: the post on the right, where the chain should connect, was cut out, the horizon is just about smack in the center, and really, there is nothing visually interesting about it.

So why is it posted here?  Well, I took the picture out of a desperate attempt to grab a "picture of the day," specifically for this project.  The day was growing long and I didn't have one yet.  The second reason is that this field can be really beautiful at different times of the day and under different weather conditions.  For example, when ice is caked on every blade of grass and the morning sun is just at the right angle.  When the sun is getting low on the horizon in the late afternoon, it backlights the brush.  The sky and the warm golden tones at that time of day can turn this field into a masterpiece.
