![This black and white photograph shows a collection of tents in what appears to be an open field. The scene suggests the temporary settlement of migrant workers, likely during harvest seasons when labor was needed for crops like peas or other vegetables.

A few individuals can be seen within this makeshift community; one person is walking among the tents, perhaps attending to tasks or interacting with fellow workers. Another individual appears seated near a vehicle on the right side of the photo, suggesting transportation for both people and supplies needed in their nomadic lifestyle.
Various objects are scattered throughout the field around the tents: barrels, crates, and what looks like agricultural equipment hinting at work related activities such as planting or harvesting crops.

Migratory labor camp in the Santa Clara Valley, California
Some photos from my hike yesterday. The weather system from Hurricane Hilary brought gloomy, overcast skies to San Jose (and some sprinkles too). More of this, please!
Lovely pink clouds over the valley on my way back home on my Sunday hike.
Had a good hike, even if the hateful orb was glaring down at me. Heard a tom turkey in the thicket somewhere and later some red shouldered hawks calling to each other. A little haze in the valley.
