A white-haired man in a pale yellow shirt stands waist-deep in ripening wheat, turning back toward the camera from the edge of a rural road. Behind him the flat arable plain runs unbroken to the horizon, where a coal-fired generating station raises two slender chimneys above a rank of hyperbolic cooling towers and transmission pylons carry its output away across the fields. The pairing of large-scale mechanized agriculture with heavy postwar power infrastructure locates the scene firmly in 1960s or 1970s Northwestern Europe — a roadside pause on somebody's long drive, and a portrait of a landscape in the middle of being industrialized.
