This goes back a long time, I was 13. The photograph was made in 1954 on a trip with Brett Weston and my dad. We were passing through Bridgeport, California, late afternoon on our way home to the Bay Area. I was using a 4x5 Brand 17 camera and 250mm Zeiss Tessar lens. The three of us set-up here that afternoon. In case it looks familiar, Brett's photograph was published soon after in the US Camera Annual.

Nicely done in what looks to have been pretty tough conditions! If you're not a traditionalist when it comes to 1:1.25, you might think about a 3:5 aspect ratio across the bottom of the frame--"pruning" the top of the tree might help unify the two major components of the image.
