Hill Barn Farm, near Snowshill, Glos. view map

A morning in the hills, waiting for the sun to come out - this is Hill Barn Farm near Snowshill, high above Broadway and famous for the extensive fields of lavender which bloom around now.

I'd parked the car and was waiting for the clouds to thin out - the air was just thick with the buzz of bees and that wonderful lavender aroma, a gentle breeze whooshing it through the car windows...I was soon peacefully asleep :o))

It is such a heavenly colour too, which always goes well with the sky! This is a great shot. Well done.

Superb landscape photo, great to see Snowshill can produce as good if not better than Provence lavender.
