Reeds

It was raining and blowing hard when I drove into Okehampton so I turned off the main road and explored another, as yet undriven lane. It's hard to believe that after living here for 16 years there are still bits of lanes I haven't driven along in search of a photo or two. I was about 4 miles from home when I found this field. The weather has taken it's toll and the ground is saturated so I couldn't get very near to the reeds which was a shame. The sharp eyed amongst you will see the raindrops on the filter . I left them there, cloning them all out would be a nightmare and at least you are seeing what I saw (apart from the change to mono of course!)

Wow, love the detail. Reminds me of an old photograph. The tones and light are fantastic! V

Beautiful layering of textures! VV
Couldn't your wellies have permitted you to get closer to the reeds? ;)

I have visions of you squelching through the mud to get closer to the reeds :-) Very sensible not to.
