Maize time

Another image from the Rotary fundraiser walk yesterday. It was a lucky break that the weather was fine yesterday, as today all we have seen is torrential rain. It won't be long now until this maize is chopped and made into silage, so it was a great opportunity to see it from this vantage point.

What a great vantage point. I was thinking Maze when I saw the title, as people over here make corn mazes sometimes.

[Dianne]

@kiwichick Yes, there used to be a maize maze about 15 minutes from here, but I don't think they planted it this year.

[Bev]

Great image, Dianne, now this one I think would benefit from a wee crop. Would then make a great abstract.

[Brigette]

Was this the Whatipu walk? I was going to do this , but feeling a little under the weather. Hope it was a lovely walk

[Bev]

And not a maize crop. 0:)

[MonicaDJ]

Great Photo, Love all the green and rolling hills.

[Dianne]

@brigette No - not Whatipu - this was near Karioitahi, just west of Waiuku.

What a lovely place to be and I can smell that freshness from the Maize.

Great patterns in the maize crops, and everything is so green - unlike here.

@golftragic yes - we've had rain at regular intervals through the summer - best we've had for years.
