Island In The Corn

Ythan Wells, near Huntly, Aberdeenshire.

Wide open rural landscapes with rolling hills characterise this place. I was captivated by the small island of trees beneath a tumultuous sky nestling between fields of alternating yellow and green. The scene struck me as reminiscent of a flag from a foreign country. My kids on the other hand see a big hairy caterpillar out for a stroll in the sunshine, well they're three and five, which do you prefer? Scale is something of an issue in this picture but if you look very carefully in the right hand green field those little specks of white are actually sheep grazing.

This is just great and the kind of landscape I go to bed dreaming about but have never found. Also the bit about the sheep is mind blowing when you then consider the scope of the total image you had before you!
