Description
Wind pump for cattle watering on a ranch just south of Madeline, California with the sinking sun behind the blades.
Madeline is an unincorporated community in Lassen County, California, USA, approximately 45 miles north of Susanville on US-395. This is a very remote and rural part of northern California. The predominate industries here are cattle ranching and hay farming but there has been some mining, including gold mining in the region over the years.
I had monochrome on my mind when I saw the scene and in post production I opted for a toned, quazi-sepia, look. I think it pays homage to vintage images and works well for the scene.
