Center line

Center Line

Piece description from the artist

I captured this photo on the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2018. The section near my home is usually closed in the winter, which makes it possible to lie down in the middle of the road and capture images like this. I like the fact that this lone leaf was perfectly placed by gravity on the center line.
