Creating an Image: A Walk on a Prairie Road

Taken in July, my brother and my cousin's son (second cousin) walk on a typical prairie road. The horizon line is approximately on the upper third of the photo, with my brother and the boy on an interest point as well. The two look into the distance, which shows a strong dynamic symmetry with the road and the two fields forming a series of three triangular shapes. I also like the parallel body language of the two as they walk together. The field to the right was homesteaded by my Grandfather in 1905. The field to the left shows how wet the spring had been that year. This is the landscape I was born in (about 100 kilometers from this site) and one that always brings me pleasure, especially the immensity of the sky. What you cannot see are the mosquitoes, which kept us moving quickly and hoping for more wind!
