Interesting agricultural photo of a man on a horse-drawn wagon full of peaches.
This is a photograph from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Color Photographs Collection in the Library of Congress.
This photograph by Russell Lee frames a peaceful rural/agricultural scene. The subject of the image is a man guiding a horse-drawn wagon loaded with full peach crates between rows of peach trees. This image was captured in Delta County, Colorado.
Many of the photographs in the FSA Color Photographs Collection are markedly crystal clear, but this image exhibits quite a bit of noise. This is particularly the case in the darker regions of the image. Not all noise is bad, and I find that in this example it creates a slightly surreal effect.
This photo was taken by Russell Lee, who was working as an agent of the United States Government. Because this image was taken by an employee of the federal government, it is in the public domain.

The photo looks dark as if it was taken a while back. It also seems to be taken in the past due to the peaches being pulled by a horse and cart like thing. But the way the color is brings your attention to the peaches and the farmer man. It looks as if to be a peach farm from the trees and crates but it doesnt look very traveled, the grass is grown high and and the trail is barly noticable. The photo has alot going on in it, the trees, crates, trail, and horses. The man driving the wagon pops out to me the most, he seems to be in his mid years and wearing an old floppy brown hat. i like the photo, i think it would look good in an old farm house or just an older house. It seems to hold a story behind it like one could be made up on the spot. Ex. That is a photo of my great grandfather. He used to own a peach farm back in the day, he would get up in the very earliest of the day, before the sun even rose and start getting the days harvest. And he wouldnt come back until dusk. But it made meets end.

A peaceful rural/agricultural scene can be seen when we see this photograph. This image was captured in Delta County, Colorado which describes about the subject of the image is a man guiding a horse-drawn wagon loaded with full peach crates between rows of peach trees. While seeing the picture we feel like seeing the same type of scene in film songs. When a song come in fruits obviously all will be eagerly thinking how they sleep or roll on the fruits and how it doesn’t gets spoil. When we see the situation different we will kook in tot he scene closely to find what fruit is is and how it arranged, by which it give beautiful looks. In rural area only we can find such scenes because in city side finding trees itself become difficult now a days. There is no chance of natural breathing oxygen in city side, because of non availability of trees. Seeing the natural fruits in the fresh condition we like to eat more. on seeing the natural scenery we feel happy. when we see something in green that is natural place we will feel more happy, because of the place and the surroundings around us.
