The border of trees in the background with their heavy foliage is in contrast to the trees in the foreground, which have obviously lost their leaves and are probably apple trees. This is summarized by probably the last harvest of fruit in the buckets, just at the fence line, in the foreground. The ladder obviously there on the tree in the background along with the pole saw, indicate that the pruning is about to commence. A sign that work always awaits you on a farm or ranch. Adolf Sehring brings you into the scene and readies you for that work.
