Actually they are straw bales in a stubble field near to my home town of Forres. I think it is important to emphasise that this is NOT digitally manipulated it is a completely in camera effect brought about by the imposition of 5 stops of ND graduated filter applied across the sky field divide resulting in the necessity of a six minute exposure to record both detail in the sky and in the stubble field. The serendipitous result was that during the exposure the clouds blew across a setting sun creating this quite surreal and extraordinary effect in the sky. A happy accident indeed.
