Hills and Clouds, Central California, 1977

In this captivating black and white photograph, the landscape showcases rolling hills stretching into the distance, speckled with a few lone trees that emerge from the otherwise smooth and textured terrain. Above the scene, a dramatic sky forms a striking contrast, with a deep, dark background accentuating the fluffy clouds that hover over the distant mountains. The immensity of the sky dominates the composition, adding an element of vastness and depth.
