Day 145 - May 25th


I've wanted to take a photograph of this view for several weeks. Today on our way back from the supermarket, I finally got the chance. The sun was shining, it wasn't raining and the field gateway we needed to pull into didn't have another car parked in it. This is the view we get every time we drive into our village at this time of year. Fields and fields of vivid yellow rapeseed. 

Rapeseed oil was originally produced in the 19th century as a source of a lubricant for steam engines but now it is turned into vegetable oil for cooking.
