"Santa Maria's Strawberry Fields"

Santa Maria is a large farming community about 50-60 miles from the Pacific coast.  The town is famous for it's strawberry crops.  I took this photo as I was cruising down Highway 101.  Just glad I didn't crash as I was taking the photo.  :-)  The farmers start the strawberries under a sheet of plastic, which is what you see in this photo.  I love the symmetric rows along the horizon.
