Interstate 10, east edge of Redlands, California 1978

Robert Adams's 1978 black and white photograph, *Interstate 10, east edge of Redlands, California*, captures the stark beauty of the American West. The photograph shows a section of Interstate 10 winding through the dry, hilly landscape, with a small cluster of trees in the foreground and a distant view of the mountains in the background. Adams's minimalist aesthetic and precise compositions capture the harsh beauty of the desert and the impact of human development on the natural environment. The photograph is an example of Adams's influential work in the genre of landscape photography, which often explored the relationship between nature and human intervention.
