Peach Orchard


This is the best run local farm I know of.  They are constantly working their fields and harvesting their crops.  Their discipline is reflected in how this peach orchard was pruned.  Look how level the tops of the trees are.  All are exactly the same height.  I wanted to capture it in a way that highlighted their careful pruning.  To get up high enough to see over the tops of the trees, I climbed a bank on the side of the road.  Then an alarm went off.  No... only kidding. The road is in front of the camera, but not in the picture.  I also wanted the leading lines of the rows of trees to lead the eye back to the barn, so I had to choose the spot carefully.
