I walked up to the Barley field again yesterday. I’m drawn to it and feel the need to go there every day. I’d never really looked at a field such as this before; I mean REALLY stopped and looked. It actually reminds me of the sea with its rhythmic waves created by the soft breeze. The restful rustling sound adds to the ambience. I find the sea to be meditative, but not so quick and easy to get to. It’s therefore pretty wonderful that this field is much closer to home.

I can see why it draws you, it is beautiful isn’t it.

Yes, really beautiful. I think I could spend hours taking photographs of Barley. Just Barley. I could become just ever so slightly obsessed with it!

Thank you Lu. Those colours are nice and strong in this photograph, due to the light I think, which was just so amazing.

I love this! I like how you’ve managed to capture the movement in this shot, but also get some really detailed areas in there too.
