| Near Marine, Illinois July 10, 2011 Photograph by Tom Atwood |
I was driving along Illinois Route 4, looking for a good place to watch the sun set, when I saw these nine trees in a farm field near Marine. Reminded me of "Six Persimmons," the famous Chinese painting by Mu Qi. Except there were trees instead of persimmons. And nine instead of six. And I'm not even sure if nine is the right number. Hard to count from this distance. Anyway, something about the placement of the trees that grabbed me, especially as the sun dropped behind them.
