Crissey Field State Recreation Site

This is a combination of two images to get this effect. I just couldn't get the dramatic effect I wanted with what I had shot so I borrowed the sunset from another image and combined the two images.

Crissey is the surname of one William L., who owned the property in the middle part of the 20th century. The term Field has a dual meaning both for the flowers grown in his extensive flower fields and the airfield utilized on the land prior to being acquired by the state park system. Mr. Crissey moved to Brookings with his wife in 1928, at the time home to about 250 residents. Soon after, the Easter lily was added to his floral inventory. Crissey pioneered the commercial sale of this flower for which the small coastal community of Brookings was later renowned.
