Heavy Sky and Wires Near San Jacinto, California 2011

The darkened sky over the hills was enough for me to pull off the highway, and reach across the truck seat for the camera. Strong open sunlight played off the landscape just up to the beginning the hills. I shots some Cottonwood trees, and then a subdivision of packed together uninhabited houses with this light. It was the lines running along and above the highway that contrasted starkly against those hills. I made a few exposures that late April day.     Jim Staub
