Suburban Prairie | Rural Fairfax

This is not the kind of environment that one usually associates with a bustling County such as ours. And, as tranquil as it might be, it is still somewhat unnerving to note that this area is slowly decaying from the well-kept state it used to be in.

If I weren't so intent on sticking to the photographic aspect of things, I'd say this is a perfect allegory for our national culture over the past 20 years.

Thankfully, I am very disciplined, so I will dutifully refrain.

Anyway, I am quite pleased to point out that this photo is almost completely unedited—Other than a minor tweak in the levels, the vivid colors that you see here are precisely as this field appeared while I was there.
