They Might Be Giants

When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.
Daniel Webster 1782-1852

These big guys are out standing in their field near Salinas California.

    It is an interesting photo. It seems as if it is from another time . . .

    Love this shot. Too bad most of our food now is grown by large agri-businesses. The old family farm has a hard time surviving.

    Boy you're right about being big guys LOL. Clever composite that tells a good story. It should be put on a billboard to say thanks to the American farmer.

    This is excellent!! Love the perspective; their backs, the soil, the flat landscape! Perfect!

    I love this image -- and quote! Reminds me of a Thomas Hart Bentley or Edward Hopper painting!
