Description

This winter view shows a field of exposed soil in foreground and near middle ground with a low ridge of soil running across the frame in middle ground with a leafless tree and minor brush on top. The field exhibits scattered dead potato roots and numerous unharvested potatoes lying on the surface, exposed by local winds having blown away the soil which once covered them as they grew.
