This wide-angle photograph captures the expansive grounds of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on a dramatically overcast day in April 2012. A large crowd of festival attendees mills about on the well-manicured green grass field, many dressed in jackets and hooded sweatshirts suggesting unseasonably cool or wet weather. The foreground features a woman in a beige hooded jacket with an umbrella, while stage lighting rigs and speaker towers are visible on the horizon line. A row of tall palm trees stretches across the mid-ground, characteristic of the Coachella Valley desert landscape, and white festival tents dot the perimeter. The heavy, dramatic storm clouds dominate approximately half the frame, creating a moody and somewhat foreboding atmosphere unusual for this typically sun-drenched California event.
