gold of farmer

n Central Anatolia, the land of sun and history, the farmers call the wheat "gold." This is not only due to its color but also its worth—the same as gold for them. When I saw the light shining on the “gold,” I took this photo of a farmer on the hills made of grain. At that moment the grain was shaped like a fish, which is also a symbol of fertility for Turkish people.
