Excellent Pete. Reminds me of the plain out west here in the US...big sky.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

What super (big) skies you had Pete, wonderful mono images

Love the red filter effect on the clouds

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Stunning , fantastic, what a superb set Pete. Love them all. the rows of trees, the leaning tree, the fences and the sky. The swaying tree and the first would be my first picks of the set. Very good.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks all. I have taken that view of the grain dryer so many times now but it is just such an evocative feature. This won't be the last.

 

[Hamish Gill]

very nice indeed Pete

 

[Brian Moore]

I like how the clouds are not unlike the land below them in the first 3 and the last, Pete. And that tree in #4 looks like it's had one too many! Great set.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Hamish. Thanks Brian. That tree is part of a stand that shelters the football pitch from the wind and it was, as usual, pretty windy and they were leaning a fair bit. You can se the stand of trees in the next image.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good stuff, Pete. One or two look familiar. Reminds me of a brochure we got for Bruges and environs, which tried to entice us with: "Come and see our flat landscape!". And we went. And it was indeed flat. And very nice too, just like these pictures.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob. If Gross Himstedt has a brochure, it ain't working!

The phrase 'toten Hosen' springs to mind (not the punk band)!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

These are very perfect aren't they?!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Dan. They're getting there.

 

[Beth Carter]
