Having Tom Robbins' sienna photographs triggering Ken Tanaka's insight into how these images might work is the basis for this new daughter thread.
In the northern latitudes, this is the time of year when most green is gone, and sienna, blue, and shades of gray predominate. Snow and ice will provide some relief from this eventually, but neither are in evidence in the Midwest United States at the moment.
The intention this morning was to try and make the best of conditions as they were found. There is little connection with regards to subject matter aside from relative geographical location and being photographed on the fourth Sunday of the month.
Plowed Field
About ten minutes before sunrise in rural LaSalle County, Illinois.
Rust and Shadow
An empty barge moored at the Cargill Illinois River loading facility at Hennepin, Illinois.
Illinois River Floodplain
This region was drained farmland as recently as a decade ago, and has now been restored to its natural state.
Several photos shot on a single morning on a sunny November day may stretch the definition of theme, but since it's a tough time of the year, maybe I can get away with it. All thoughts and suggestions are very welcome.
