I took this picture on the side of the road on my way back to Canton after a weekend at home. The weather in the morning had been very gray and cloudy, but the sun came out and it made everything so much brighter and more colorful I had to pull over to enjoy it. It was a field full of dead cornstalks, but I really like the bright color against the white snow which is then lined by the black pavement. Almost 80% of the corn produced in New York is for processing leaving less than 25% for fresh market. It is one of the most important crops in the state.
