Christmas Harvest

I had my pick out of about 20 different tree farms to visit today to document as they prepare for the holiday season. On each of my many trips up and down scenic and remote Mt. Baker Highway I've always looked out my window intrigued with these clean repetitive rows of nearly identical trees against the undomesticated rough-and-tumble of forested hills. So, up Mt. Baker Highway is where I chose to go. This picture doesn't do much to suggest that contrast I described, but I like seeing the tree up up in the air like that, horizontal against the horizon, distinctly uprooted. I do think I'll go back though on my day off and try to work that contrast a bit more, when I'm not concentrated on pictures for the paper.
