Once I Lived in Open Spaces

Please CLICK ON THIS PICTURE to see the beautiful details.

When I was ten years old, my family moved to a very suburban part of Southern California. Before that we lived in a very rural part of Arizona.

On a recent trip to Flagstaff I pulled the car over to capture this image that reminded me so strongly of the view across the road, when we waited for the school bus each morning.

I've never been back to where I used to live, because I've heard it's been built up. In my mind's eye, it's always like this.

I altered and partially recolored this photograph, using Photoshop CS4.
