Yellow Hill

This is one of my personal favorite photographs. Maybe because of the fact that the weather has never duplicated itself since then, or it was my mood at the time, or a combination of both. I took this photograph exactly two years ago this week. It was a somber cloudy and breezy day.

Yellow hill is located just northwest of Biglerville, PA. A massive view of Adams County can be had from the top along Yellow Hill Road. Below a desolate workers camp empty, soon it will be summer and the workers will be back to work in the surrounding orchards. In the distance to the right are the mountains of Michaux State Forest, and just left of center, Little Round Top, where Chamberlain's famous charge was made at the Battle of Gettysburg. Things are warming and the trees are pushing hard to reclaim their leaves. This is spring.

Dang, that's nice. To my eye it's all about the different horizontal elements---the clouds, horizon, and different treelines and hilltops, all slightly different variations on "horizontal", with the building as a kind of counterweight.

You nearly miss this on the thumbnail, but I can see why you like it. I love the layers, combined with the mood and grain, makes a really good image....one that you need to see in person.
