About 20 minutes south of where I live there is a farmer who on certain years will plant a field of sunflowers. Being right next to a highway this swatch of yellow sunshine causes many who would normally pass by to stop and admire. It is not unusual to see a half a dozen photographers working at the side of the field at one time. Each in their own way are trying to capture the beauty on display - some are trying to bring their own unique interpretation of the scene - others are content to record the standard roadside view. In either case there is a window of about ten days where the sunflowers are pointing nicely in the same direction, thousand of yellow heads held high in all their glory.
