entry description
Like the rest of Spain, the region of Aragon has been suffering a severe drought for decades. This is often compared in parallel with the drought in California on the other side of the earth. Every year there is only a fraction of the water available for a "normal" growing season. Like in California, this draught often causes wild forest fires leading to further loss in the economy. Facing against this uphill battle, the resilient Spanish farmers have continued their struggle to survive. This series of images are taken over 3000 feet in the air from a small plane. The striking and amazingly strange abstract patterns of farming fields are a reflection of humankind’s impact on the earth.about the photographer
