The Mayan God of Maize (Corn) - Copan, Honduras. Image is from The Met's special exhibit - Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Classical Maya Art
Hail to the Victors Valiant! Michigan began their season with a solid victory over Hawaii this past weekend. While the game was not supposed to be close, after many years of squeaking by or even losing games we should have won easily, this was a welcome treat. Who knows what this season will have in store, but the future is looking bright for the Wolverines!
This photo was taken almost exactly one year ago outside the Big House. I had been trying several times to nab a nice sunset from this location and finally my persistence paid off! I actually had the thought that I might be able to capture the team colors in the sky a while back, but was never in the right place at the right time. This was the reward, and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. It was our last Fall as graduate students in Ann Arbor, so it is also special for that reason. Go Blue!
Looking out over the surrounding countryside with fields of maize. Taken from the second story of the Campania Barn at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan. The museum has a complex of buildings in a rural setting.
I decided to use the more specific term "maize" instead of the American vernacular "corn."
What a mess a maize crop makes of the land if there is no underplanting.
Still have stock of Fuji Pro 400, most now frozen to be shot as a treat.
These are just fields of corn (or as the Indians taught us - Maize) - but looks like a maze for one to fiollow back to barn and farm in distance.
Bonus: Happy WIndmill Wednesday
Taken during the blue hour just after sunset. Looking the other direction from the previous image "Maize field"
Interesting corn facts: 1. Each acre of corn has over 24,000 corn plants. 2. It takes 77 ears of corn to make a bushel. 3. This irrigated corn yielded over 200 bushels per acre. Buffalo County, Nebraska.
I was cycling along one of the tracks through the fields near Gourvillette and saw this wonderful crop of maize 10 feet (3 metres) tall with the sun glinting through the leaves and flowers. I liked the heroic "reach for the sky" feel of these plants which seem to grow up in just a few months.
A week later, when Belle's friend wanted a nice photo of her "organic" tattoo I knew just where to take it.
She also became a marvelous "Ceres" - goddes of the grain harvest...

one of the most amazing things about the awesome peruvian cuisine is the variety of its ingredients. for example, there are dozens of different maize types. this is only a small sample

Or corn on the cob? I spotted this public footpath through the maize on the way home. It is straight as a die and I love the tunnel effect looking down it. But I just needed something a bit more, like sunlight to fill in from one side or for there to be a couple walking hand in hand down it. But there were neither and I've given up on the setting sun swinging round just far enough to settle in the gap. It just isn't going to happen. Some people use red or orange filters to try and make their photos look interesting. I thought I would just use me. Me in my orange work 'uniform', and a smiley face (actually I can do a better one than that). I'm about as sunny as you can get and very different to all those boring sunset photos, even if I say so myself.

One of the most beautiful harvest-time decorations I have ever seen. The maker (unknown to me) is an artist.
Location: A sheltered outside wall of the old Sennhütte (dairy barn) at the Chrischona Community, above the villages of Riehen and Bettingen, BS Switzerland.
