23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Steak and Salad
An orchard and a cattle feedlot meet along a dirt road at Harris Ranch in California’s Central Valley. On one side, rows of trees grow under irrigation; on the other, cattle crowd shaded pens on bare ground. Photographed from a small aircraft, the scene brings two parts of the same meal into a single frame, showing how closely land, water and diet are tied together in the American West.
