Powerlines stretch over Southern California in the middle of tomato fields.


Towers linking powerlines that stretch across a tomato field in Southern California. The juxtiposition of the manmade powerlines and planted tomato fields against the lush green rolling hills in the background poses the conflict of man vs. nature. The modern age of mankind seems to intrude on the beauty, peace and solitude of Mother Earth. The powerlines disappear into the distance leaving only to the viewer's imagination how far they may stretch. The valley is hazy with pollution, furthering the struggle of nature to survive the damaging effects man has caused it to endure. Also search Jeff Smith and Fotosmith for similar images.
