Geometry & Silence 
It’s incredible to see this sea of yellow! I was on a coach on the way to Aylebury, from the West Midlands, and came across several of these fields. Some fields were slightly paler. I don’t know why. It was interesting to see the flower close-up and the ground eye view.
Thanks for your comments. Its only a week later and now most of the flowers have gone and the field is green
They’re beautiful
attractive views of yellow field
I love the colors and contrast in these photos Quintin. Thanks for following my blog. I’m having fun exploring yours. Brad
Thanks Brad
