Titled “Field of Green” Ramiro Ruiz’s photo highlights the beauty of agriculture, which is an integral part of so many rural communities in California. Mr. Ruiz is a resident of Monterey County and works as an agricultural mechanic. He has a passion for photographing the agricultural landscapes he encounters in his daily life and has received high honors for his photography in the past.
“Congratulations to Mr. Ruiz upon this wonderful recognition of his ability to blend his work and passion into one,” said Monterey County Supervisor and RCRC Board Delegate Chris Lopez. “His photo highlights the beauty of our agricultural landscape, it brings into focus the contributions of rural California to our nation’s food supply, and has brought top recognition to Monterey County.”
The RCRC Board of Director’s chose the winning photograph, including the second and third place finalists, at their August 18th Board meeting with the county of origin revealed after the Board’s decision. Miranda Moore received second place for her photo displaying a field of flowers overlooking the Humboldt County coastline and Gil Rebollar received third place for his photo of a sunset illuminating over a body of water in Imperial County.
The RCRC Rural County Photo Contest was established to promote tourism and local economic development through showcasing the beautiful landscape, scenery, activities, history, and charm of RCRC’s member counties. Mr. Ruiz’s image will be prominently displayed during RCRC’s 2021 Annual Meeting in Monterey County in September and may be featured in various RCRC marketing materials or work products, along with other photo submissions, throughout the next year.
