Driving around Mesa Verde County, near Cortez, Colorado, I came over a ridge and saw this farm field, freshly ploughed with brick-red soil, some green alfalfa against a clear blue sky. The colors were striking, and the simplicity of the scene prompted me to stop by the side of the road and snap several shots, the best of which was the one. It was early in the morning, with no person or equipment in the field at the time. The scene was colorful and visually stunning, and there was only the sound of a light breeze in the air.
