entry description
From high above Central Valley, California, almond trees in full bloom have the appearance of delicate pom poms. This plot of land was carefully selected to photograph from overhead in order to show the orchard’s hedgerow configuration and varying tree pattern. In part, this method of planting alternating tree varieties is to prevent pressure from diseases and to ensure a high production yield. This photo was taken using a DJI drone and a 50 mm camera lens.back to gallery
