Low Clouds Over Soybean Field
Intersection of Ratliff Road and Starnes Road, Monroe County, Indiana
I took the above photo (photos, actually) on my way home from work on Saturday. Heading west, the sky was cloudy, but not all that interesting. When I turned the corner from Ratliff onto Starnes, though, I looked back to the east and saw a huge mass of dark clouds hanging low in the sky. I had to stop, of course.
It’s always interesting to watch people’s reactions when I stop at that particular intersection. There’s a soybean/corn (depending on the year) field there, surrounded by a border of grass. The grass border is wide and well maintained–perfect for pulling off the road. Almost every time I do, at least one person stops to ask if I need help. I always thank them, and explain that I’m just taking pictures. Invariably, this puzzles them. “Oh…oh” they say, uncertainly. Clearly, only weird people take pictures at Ratliff and Starnes.
