My latest contribution to Monochromia. I found this scene on a stretch of Hwy 70W traveling from Muleshoe, TX to Clovis, NM after a heavy rainstorm.

Beautifully composed and so full of rich tones. Of course, the puddle adds an extra dimension to the abandoned cityscape. And those clouds!

As someone who grew up as a Minnesota farm boy, I’ve always been fascinated by the geometry of agricultural structures. This picture captures so many. As others have said the “composition” is so fantastic – the angular structures themselves, the more abstract reflection of those structures, and the amorphous clouds brooding in the background all combine into something quite magnificent.
