Van Gogh's Wheat Field

On our trip, we saw the place where Van Gogh supposedly made his last painting, in a wheat field, right before he shot himself. It's fun to see the painting (Crows Over the Wheat Fields), and then see the photos I took of the way it looks now.





Here's the painting (made in 1890).





Here's the way the almost exact place looks now, and then the area just to the right of it. I'm sure his time of day and time of year must have made the colors much different from those that I photographed. Or maybe he altered the colors to convey his intense state of mind.
