As with most major cities, the suburban areas of Denver were once filled with farms which are slowly being sold and turned into housing developments as the population base grows.

The image for Day 5 of Thirty Days 2011 is one of these fields, however this field in the northwest portion of the metro area is surrounded by homes which are easily twenty years old.  I have driven past this field in the past and have always noticed the contrast between the different areas of the farm.  Working carefully not to include the surrounding homes I captured the above image for today’s image.
