This mid-winter view of an unharvested onion field shows mature onions lying on top of the ground in foreground and several rows of exposed onions running diagonally from left to right into the middle ground. A low broadleaf tree-covered hill is visible out of focus in middle ground at upper left. The onions becoming exposed results from the top layer of bare soil being blown away by local Matanuska Valley winds.
