    Golden Fields

    This morning I got up at 04:00am to participate in a short trek around the lakes near to my home, I was expecting a cast of myst coating the waters but it was'nt to be. I was a little bit disappointed having set my alarm so early but given the interesting sky I continued to drive around looking for landscape opportunities.

    During the last 4 weeks we have had some very dry weather preventing the grass to continue its summer growth and instead wither away into a dry, dull orange look. As the morning past the sun begun to rise and in doing so turned the grass into a field of gold.

    This old mill has been featured in my stream before and is very popular amongst other photographers..

    Canon 5D Mark II - Canon EF 24-70 F:2.8 L
