English Summer Days

I love the English Summer..... well the unpredictable few weeks of sunshine that we get anyway. Long days to get out into the country. Gorgeous sunsets. Plenty of photographic opportunities, and of course a few relaxing moments in the sunshine.

Well the observant of you might just notice a similarity between this shot and *Hay: It's me...* in the last challenge. This was taken before *Hay* and kind of served as a catalyst for it. Whilst I think the cloud formations in *Hay* are way better, I think this is a superior shot overall. Probably because it is serious.

I'd just been visiting a client who's office is on farmland, and the hay-bales and the sunshine were to good to resist. Camera in car I just had to stop for 5 minutes for a bit of sun worshipping, and of course a few snaps of the fields.

Iso, I really like this shot. In fact, I prefer this over it's counterpart "Hay; It's me" from the last challenge. This one is far more natural and contemplative. Very, very nice work. I can almost feel that warmth from the sun.
