23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
rye and sky

This image shows a rye field in the heart of America and the blue skyways above. This was taken on a cross-country road trip in the summer of 25. I believe it captured the second verse from "this land is your land" quite well: "As I went walking that ribbon of highway And I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me."
