Winter wheat and blackcurrants


My photograph, I think, shows lines of winter wheat in the foreground behind the out of focus hedge and blackcurrants beyond, on the hill slope in wider lines. Both of these crops are grown locally and I'm told the blackcurrants go to the bottling plant of Britain's favourite blackcurrant cordial a few miles away in Coleford.

Tractor at work


Towards the end of September, while standing on the highest point of medieval Goodrich Castle, I noticed a field with a tractor about a mile or so distant. The vehicle was going up and down the gaps between rows of posts and plants. I was carrying what I call my "bird watching camera", a Nikon P950. Even with its long lens I couldn't make out what the crop was when I viewed my shots on the camera's screen and I resolved to remedy that when I got the image on my computer. But no, I'm still none the wiser!
