Perpespectives on an Orange

It's distinct and citrus fragrance can be smelled from across the room once its soft rind has been cut. The orange's smell is juicy and sweet, and can be noticed with little effort once the orange's peel has been sliced. In this photo, 'Have One', the orange in the picture being held has been peeled halfway, spraying its beautiful citrus smell into the air, persuading people to buy it. It is a paper label used for a crate to promote the fruit they ship across the United States. But, underneath the initial meaning of this picture lies a new perspective of where the orange originates and how it has defined and given people many different views of California, and how looking at this picture brings many personal memories of how oranges have effected me.

In these fields millions of oranges are grown for our benefit, and for the people in our country to keep them healthy and satisfied.
