Amber Waves
O beautiful
for spacious skies
for amber waves of grain . . . .
Two and a half million rural children, a fifth of all rural children, live in poverty, compared to 15 percent for children living in metropolitan areas. One in five rural children lived in food insecure households in 2000—food insecurity and hunger are more prevalent in rural America than in the nation as a whole.

the American flag seems to be sandwiched among a lot of corn…wouldn’t Gore Vidal have a picnic with that one? :)

Very nice photo! I saw a show once at the Museum of Modern Art in NY where someone just photographed water towers. You’d be surprised how many different kinds and styles there are.

The sky is so full of drama…and the perspective you have used just adds to that. Love the position of the water tower and the way it stands out in the image.

Great shot love the drama in the skyy
Paul Vanzella
this is more than sensational – wonderful minimal quality with incredible tonal work! Love the way the clouds seem to go in and out of range – this is such a well presented image. SO ALIVE!
Lori Peters
Very moving. All I can think is “amber waves of grain” from “America The Beautiful.” It’s so lovely.
Lori Peters
Helen, I read the commentary just now. I was one of those 20 % who grew up in rural America and often went hungry. I grew up in a very distressed area. it is worse now because the factories that once enployed people have all closed and the goods are made in China, etc. I donate to an organization that provides school supplies to the children who can’t even afford pencils and paper. I made it out of poverty but many don’t. I hope that others who escaped will help these children, also. Thank you for bringing these facts to light.

stunning work Helen!!!
