Poppy and Wheat Fields Blue Evening Light

Vibrant red poppies and golden wheat stretch across the landscape in a patchwork pattern visible from an elevated perspective. Stacked hay bales rest in the immediate foreground, their rough, weathered surfaces catching the fading blue light of dusk. Low ground fog pools in the depressions between the fields, softening the transition between the crops and the earth. A distant town glows with warm artificial light on the horizon, against the cool evening tones. The dry season leaves the stalks brittle and the soil dusty, showing the urgency of the harvest season as day turns to night. The edge of the nearest hay bale shows a frayed string detail against the darkening ground.
