Goodrich, Herefordshire

September is a good time for photographing agricultural landscapes. The cereal harvest is in and those fields have a sandy hue, dark or light depending whether they have been ploughed or are still stubble. The pastures often have a slightly yellow tinge in September, but where a second crop of hay or silage has been taken from a meadow they can be very pale green. Other fields, rainfall permitting, are frequently deep green. And, of course, the hedges of the field boundaries are deep green with few autumn colours yet evident. So the land was when we looked down on the village of Goodrich from nearby Coppett Hill, its church spire prominent among the clustered houses.
