A woman named Penelope crouches amid an expansive field of blooming purple lupine wildflowers that stretches to the horizon, completely enveloping her in violet color. The photograph was taken with a wide-angle lens (16-35mm) giving a sweeping perspective that emphasizes the sheer scale of the floral display. In the background, residential homes and buildings are visible on a hillside, along with what appears to be a highway underpass or bridge structure, situating this wild bloom within an urban context. The overcast sky creates soft, diffused lighting that suits the dreamy, lavender-toned landscape. This appears to be the famous 'Not a Cornfield' public art project in Elysian Valley/Chinatown area of Los Angeles, which converted a vacant lot into an agricultural art installation.
