Amber Waves

Amber Waves by Helen Bascom KMA

Amber Waves

O beautiful
for spacious skies
for amber waves of grain . . . .

Two and a half million rural children, a fifth of all rural children, live in poverty, compared to 15 percent for children living in metropolitan areas. One in five rural children lived in food insecure households in 2000—food insecurity and hunger are more prevalent in rural America than in the nation as a whole.

    the American flag seems to be sandwiched among a lot of corn…wouldn’t Gore Vidal have a picnic with that one? :)

    Very nice photo! I saw a show once at the Museum of Modern Art in NY where someone just photographed water towers. You’d be surprised how many different kinds and styles there are.

    this is more than sensational – wonderful minimal quality with incredible tonal work! Love the way the clouds seem to go in and out of range – this is such a well presented image. SO ALIVE!

    Very moving. All I can think is “amber waves of grain” from “America The Beautiful.” It’s so lovely.
