I have seen dead plants and trees due to droughts, fires, and also the Water Department's restrictions on watering. But this is such a striking photo I'm sharing here. It looks like an abstract painting, so Surreal it looks. From The Guardian:
"Dead almond trees lie in an open field after they were removed by a farmer because of a lack of water to irrigate them, in the drought-stricken Central Valley. Distraught by the drought and new water restrictions, the Californian farmer had no choice but to uproot 150 hectares (371 acres) of his ‘premium’ trees" How bad and frustrated the farmer must have felt.
