David Cross shares this from near Pescadero, California. He says, "A
row of mailboxes marks an unpaved road south of Pescadero along the San
Mateo County coastline. The field in the background belongs to a 3rd
generation farmer named Fernando. His family has tilled the land here
for over 50 years. They mainly grow brussel sprouts, a vegetable that
thrives in the deep moist foggy environment along the coast. Fernando
stopped me as I drove up the private road fronting the mailboxes, and
asked me what I was doing. I showed him my camera, and he gave me carte
blanche to his property, after talking my ear off for 20 minutes. He had
a lot to get off his chest. I guess farming in the fog is a lonely
life."
Thanks, David!
