    Driving home this morning...

    It was a pretty dull cloudy morning, and then all of a sudden I drove past this, I pulled up on the side of the road and took a quick shot. I plan to get down there and explore a bit more soon.

    You have a nice ride home! This scene is well worth exploring in the future, though the tracks in the field that you took to full advantage will surely not remain.

    That beats the heck out of any drive home I've ever had. Nice shot!

    Gorgeous scenery and the sky added to that beauty! If this was a rushed shot I can only imagine what a well planned one will be. Very nice.

    There is quite a bit of somewhat plain green foreground here; although with sufficient lines across the grass so it isn't totally lacking in interest. However, I wonder if some form of slight crop from the left would concentrate the view onto the main areas of interest?

    Wow, what a gorgeous view you have. Love the depth and colors. Also looks like there are sheep in the field. :-) I don't blame you for wanting to re-explore this area.

    Geoff, I took another shot with the camera pointing towards the right more, so I will process that later and post it up.

    Thanks Kim, yes there is an abundance of sheep where I live! It will be lambing season soon, so I hope to get a few good shots to post up.

    Nicely done Matt. You and Mother Nature cooperated nicely on this one. Timing (luck?) was on your side for sure.

    Crepuscular rays always seem to add a little extra to an image, so that part of the light certainly did add to an already stunning scene.

    Very Nice, I really like the color the of the sky in contrast to the landscape. Well Done.

    Lovely image. I like it without any need for a crop - the sky balances out the green expanse I feel.
