Exurban Still Life

Well, how silly is this? Still, I was tickled by the contrast here.

LOL, great find - I guess that sign is working; it looks like no cars have parked there in quite a while!

Thanks, Frank, for the comment! This was taken in front of a supermarket over in Virginia; the market was in the background in the shadows, but I found it distracting so just made it black. I thought it was pretty funny to see a no-parking sign surrounded by corn stalks, like where would you park in the middle of a corn field, anyway?

Not silly at all! Did you add the contrast to the background? I like the set up of the crops and the sign.
