"The Cool Green Hills of Earth" is the title of a science fiction short story by Robert Heinlein, who also wrote a poem of the same title. The first line of that poem is "Let the sweet fresh breezes heal me" and the entire poem is here: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/241.html I was up at sunrise one morning driving around the back roads of King George County, Virginia when I saw this little cornfield. The first line of Heinlein's poem is perfect for that moment...the air, the light, the morning. And those storm clouds blew away 10 minutes after I shot this pic. I used a touch of HDR on this one...and I hope you like the result!
