We walked up to Beaufront Hill Head again on Thursday and the change from the previous week was dramatic. The sun was hidden by a blanket of cloud and the barley had been harvested – it felt like the year was on the turn – one shot, more ways:
(Apologies to Tina Schell who had asked to see colour versions of the previous post – I tried but they lacked any drama – so here are some even gloomier versions :-))

Looks like a nice field for crop circles.
Yup, courtesy of some alien in a huge Massey Ferguson 🙂
Wow, the has turned indeed. I caught some shots of wheat fields on Monday, but half the fields had already been cut….so I know by now all the gold grass will be harvested and the fields full of stubble ….such a change 🙂
There is also a change in the air down here today, distinctly autumnal. We are heading your way for a golf tour towards the end of September so you can expect snow around that time 🙂
Oh my, please postpone you’re trip, I’m not quite ready for snow just yet! But autumn is definitely knocking at the door….
I like the portrait orientation better of the two.
Me too but then I am not that keen on either – their only merit is by way of comparison with the week before – a bit depressing to think summer is on the decline 😦
Those tones…and the way light is just about to get through…amazing. Dramatic indeed but I like them a lot.

Thanks for that…..I loved The Troggs by the way!
There is definitely something going on. They’re also found in the US although the debunkers are fond of saying they’re hoaxed.
