A Backroad Sunflower

[JimFox]

This is from yesterday as I was driving some backroads to Denver, CO. On thing I have discovered in Colorado is that they don't believe in designing roads with shoulders unless it's a freeway. The majority of backroads lack shoulders to pull off, they are typically ditches next to the roads, so I was really lucky there was a shoulder to pull off when I saw this.

All comments are welcome,

Jim

You should try looking for a place to pull off with a 25' motorhome Glad you found a spot for this scene - I love sunflowers.

Nice image. Interesting that the sunflower—and background trees lean to the left.

Thanks Alan! Yep, you wouldn't want the RV in Colorado.

Thanks John.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It's a head scratcher for sure. I don't recall noticing that while I was photographing, but I had to get to Denver, so I stopped, ran out, photographed, ran back to the van and started driving. My mom not real choice was moving the camera up or fine to move the sunflower above or below the horizon.
