With its cornstalks clipped into a crewcut, this field
lies fallow in the late afternoon sun.
Even as the furrows run off into the distance,
describing for us an expanse of wonderful open space,
I remind myself that the concrete roads are not that
far away. With homes nearby as well,
all waiting to spread their cancer, robbing us
of this beautiful arable land, lying purple
and gold not far outside Marion County
and Indianapolis.

Terrific composition in these shots.
Unfortunately the same tendency prevails here. We might have plenty of space... but not that much of it is arable, and developers seem to be able to have their way with everything, consequences be damned.
