Rusty Roof and Changing Landscape

It is fascinating to watch the changes in this field just north of Green Street at the edge of town. I have photographed it looking north, northeast (with the ubiquitous water tower in the distance), with newly planted corn and growing cornstalks, dryed yellow cornstalks, all while standing in approximately the same spot. This view is northwest, taken two weeks ago.

The various views and stages of corn follow the pattern of farm life and seasonal changes. I believe part of this field is at the heart of a local debate regarding annexation into the Middletown town limits. It seems that part of this land is destined to grow houses.
