Plains View

A view from a recent trip across Salisbury Plain

This was taken off a minor road between Netheravon and Everleigh.

There was a slight misty haze in the air which you can see across the landscape in the background.

Salisbury Plain is a chalk plateau in central southern England covering 300 square miles (780 km2).

It is part of a system of chalk downlands throughout eastern and southern England formed by the rocks of the Chalk Group and largely lies within the county of Wiltshire, with a little in Hampshire.

The plain is famous for its rich archaeology, including Stonehenge, one of England's best known landmarks. Largely as a result of the establishment of the Defence Training Estate Salisbury Plain (DTE SP), the plain is sparsely populated and is the largest remaining area of calcareous grassland in north-west Europe. Additionally the plain has arable land, and a few small areas of beech trees and coniferous woodland. Its highest point is Easton Hill.
I like this a lot - the softness of the mist and the hard outline of the tractor silhouette really complement each other

I agree with Helen about the contrast in the image. I like the soft muted tones with the filigree of the branches contrasting the block of the tractor. Top image.
