Walkers in a hummocky landscape

Well, I *think* they're hummocks but I'm not sure. If I'm wrong, please tell me, I'd love to know what they're really called. They are grass covered mounds of earth and are firm enough to stand on.
This was taken on the same day as yesterday's post and is part of the field where "my" ELT stands : http://365project.org/dulciknit/365/2013-12-06

22 June '14 I recently found out these are the nests of Yellow Meadow ants : http://www.bwars.com/index.php?q=ant/formicidae/formicinae/lasius-flavus

Old molehills? But if it was boggy then it is due to the way the peat has developed. over time.

[Shelley]

Love the POV, comp and b/w.

[8yearson]

I like the lonely and isolated feel and the two walkers striding out are perfectly placed in the frame!

[Call me Joe]

love & fav:)

[Rosie]

Did the walkers photo bomb you or do you know them? either way they completed a beautifully captured moment.

Beautiful composition, I have a feeling I have heard something in the past about those hummocks but whatever it was is staying firmly in the past! I love the image.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@chocolatesocks Thank you. Not photo-bombers, this was a shot I'd had in mind but I don't know them either. Fortunately, it's a popular walking area, so it was just a question of waiting for the right time.

[Milanie]

So many nice things about this shot - like the b&w - perfect for this - the pov makes this just a little different in the very best way - the action of the two people walking and shooting to catch them where you did - great!

[Sharon Lee]

Love the people in the shot

[elkehochban]

Love that you included the walkers - it provides a sense of scale. Fab shot!

[Maggiemae]

Hummocks is a perfect word for these humps!

[Margaret Brown]

They look like molehills to me, with that many it's a wonder you didn't catch sight of one!!! Great capture and POV !

[Gena Pegg]

Amazing capture Allison...just stunning. Love those silhouettes on the hill.

[Maria Swaisland]

Great shot Alison, looks great in B&W. :)

[Dione Giorgio]

FAV. Absolutely beautiful in b&w.

[Carole Imes]

FAV and I really like the composition and the whole idea. Fab b & w!

[Rachel Withey]

Love this, great composition

[Claire]

The whole comp and exposure is beautiful, very nicely done

[carol white]

Great POV!! Wouldn't want to walk there,I'd probably end up flat on my face!!lol!!

[Jean Tookey]

A lovely composition and great in b&w. I love the position of the walkers. They look well kitted out.

[Al Bailey]

This looks lovely in b&w :)

[Hamble]

Strong image. Very moody.

[Jen Hudson]

Love the incline with the walkers nicely making their way up there. It does have an isolated feel, made I think by the b/w and sky with those fab clouds and light.

[Jen Hudson]

Looks like mole hills but there are a lot there, not sure.

[Matt Clendon]

Which hill to choose. I really like this. It's a fav for me. The b/w suits it perfectly I think.

[Suse♡]

Wonderful perspective and I love the b&w processing here

[Sean O'Neill]

Brilliantly done. Works very well with the strong diagonal and the walkers, and the contrast of hard hillside and soft clouds. Fav again.

@janturnbull @judithdeacon @maggiemae @craftymeg @jennywren
I saw some more of these yesterday in a different location and there was an info board that said they are the nests of Yellow Meadow Ants. I thought you might be interested to know.
I've edited the caption here and put an info. link in.

@dulciknit Well, we learn something new every day on 365 - thanks for the info!
