Field of Gold

I was traveling down Capitol Ave. in San Jose on my way home from Andrew's Lion Dance performance at the Berryessa Community Center. Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw this amazing field of wild mustard plants at the intersection of Capitol and Sierra Rd. I had to stop to take a few photos.

A few rustic boxcars labeled "Scorsur" stood at the back of the field. A Google search identified Benjamin Scorsur as a pioneer in the Santa Clara County fruit industry who immigrated from his native Austria back in 1871. In the foreground, a Vietnamese woman is picking mustard leaves.
