Gorgeous. A superb and vibrant image.

Thanks for your visit, Grouser, but I feel much better in your beautiful landscape - a painting full of heart !

Beautiful!

I love the three layers of color: brown dirt, green grass, blue sky. Simply gorgeous landscape.

very beautifull HDR ambiance

What a gorgeous scene! The earthy tones (no pun intended) and that stormy sky up ahead makes this special.

Beautiful rural shot, great colours and light

Thanks for the lesson - have really leant something today. The smell coming from the freshly ploughed (and harrowed) ground must have been something else!

Oh I am loving those hills in the background... I just want to go roaming around up there.

A peaceful rural scene,smashing shot Grouse...We are off to Anthony's in the morning,so I will raise a glass of "Welsh Water"and wish you, Nadolig Llawen,A Blwyddyn Newydd Dda. :>)

Interesting. The work is never done on the farm.

That is a clever arrangement for getting two jobs done at the same time. Fine shot of this farm activity. He must have some real power to be turning up that much dirt and harrowing at the same time.

Wow!! Fantastic shot! Love the way you have exposed this, great job :)

Fantastic rural capture the colors are superb, so interesting to see how the farmer does both plough and harrow at the same time, I dont think I have seen this before

what a lovely scene

Oh, you must go back and take photos of the wheat when it's ready for harvest, Grousie. I grew up around wheat and I love it, but I never really see wheat fields, anymore. Wonderful scene and I loved your description!

excellent rural composition - full of energy and life! the farmer is very clever in the way he does two jobs at once... a great insight into rural life!

hey there Grouser!! :) good to be back! this is an excellent shot -- beautifully done -- love the sky and the tilled terrain...! wonderful lines and space!!

A great shot and a beautiful scenery. What makes it for me is the hill in the background, I bet it has some dark history behind it..???

cheers

...and to answer your question from my yesterday's comment, no it hasn't. In fact, it got much colder. At the moment (10 in the evening) the temperature dropped to about - 25 C and with the wind it feels like -35 (they call it here wind chill factor). Towards the morning it supposed to dip below -30 C and with the wind it will feel like way below -40 C. It is very cold, even for this region, we don't get these kind of temperatures very often.
The weather is very weard recently... global warming anomalies ???

There's more to farming than meets the eye. Lovely landscape here, and very well captured in scene.

Isn't it just incredible what can be done!! Love your use of thirds in this image:-)

Superb image Grouser, love the contrast between field and sky

Great rural shot! Love the colors...
