Photographer’s Note
Xmas in Salinas, with family and friends, caught this sunset, what a great way to end Christmas. The reflection on the ground is from plastic that prevents weeds to grow in the strawberry fields.
from wiki:
Salinas is known as the Salad Bowl of America or Salad Bowl of the World. Over 80% of the lettuce grown in the United States is grown in the Salinas Valley. The city's labor force is almost evenly divided between blue collar, 54.6%, and white collar, 45.4%. According to the 2000 US Census, 24% of the population worked in sales and office occupations, 21.4% worked in management, professional, and related occupations, 16.2% worked in service occupations, 14.9% worked in farming, fishing, and forestry occupations, 14.4% worked in production, transportation, and material moving occupations, and 9.1% worked in construction, extraction, and maintenance occupations.

G'Day Rich,
This is a stunning piece of work. I am very pleased that you have included a title referring to a classic Beatles song. The vibrant sky is a wonderful spectacle, but what makes it unique is that the reflective plastic frames that the strawberries grow in are appearing so luminous, almost extending the sunset into the FG.
Matt
