Scenes from my latest cycle ride on a very nice sunny day again (apart from the head wind) {:)
Barley straw bales make a nice image across rolling fields. However, its a bit of a struggle to make them look interesting on the flat fenland fields.
A lonely Green-veined White Butterfly, one of few seen on the ride.
Potato plants in flower.
A World War II machine gun Bunker, one of many across East Anglia.
I thought it appropriate to shoot and post in sepia.
A Water Tower that appears to double as a Mobile phone mast.
(thats Cell phone mast in US)
Lunch was taken at the slipway.
A double bend in the River Welland
Harvesting Oilseed Rape
A field of Oilseed Rape soon to be harvested.
A working railway Signal Box.
A field of Wheat.
Some lovely harvest pictures Roy set beneath those big Fenland skies :-) OSR & Barley harvesting now well underway up here in East Yorkshire too.

Thanks David.
DeleteAnother series of super shots today. You did a great job of making the bales of hay look picturesque, and I enjoyed your sepia ones. This is a beautiful part of England.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise.
DeleteLovely set Roy.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the sepia treatments.
Thanks Keith.
DeleteHi Roy
ReplyDeleteA nice post it was fun to see the countryside.
Guy
Thanks Guy.
DeleteHey Roy...You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take country out of the boy...you probably never heard that one so don't try to figure it out!!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that harvesting is happening, with so much of the summer being so strange, both there and here!!
I liked seeing the harvesting photos though.. interesting process!!
Potato's are in bloom here now too, a nice sight!
Nice sepia of the bridge arches!!
Grace
PS..that is a cell phone "tower" here...and the slipway would be a boat launch!! ; }
Thanks GG, yes I have heard that one before and very true it is.
DeleteOK thanks for the 'New World English' lesson.{:))
'Cells' are what we put prisoners in by the way.{:)
Super shots from your ride Roy.
ReplyDeleteIt's building up to the busy time of year for farmers just now lets hope the wather hold for them, and us!!
Nice touch with the sepia images...[;o)
Thanks Trevor, yes hopefully we will get respite for a month or two.
DeleteRoy, the hay fields remind me of Texas!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathryn, that we be in much larger fields though.{:)
DeleteI like the sepia photos...very nice! Looks like a great spot to have lunch and watch the river.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. Yes it was quite a warm day.
