Farmhouse in the heather by happypat

Farmhouse in the heather

It was heaven this afternoon in the Trough of Bowland, the sun was shining, hardly any cars about, lots of bicycles & the heather was out.
Harry went to watch the tractor pulling at Great Eccleston so I took myself off to take more pictures for this competition I am entering.
Another contender I think but the farmhouse is possibly too small in this one but I liked the big sweep of fell.
Thank you all for your input....lots of heads are better than one!

Three good things:
1. I ate a cheesecake one of the B&'s had left behind in the fridge....it fortified me whilst I changed beds!
2. We skyped NZ this morning..
3. Some quiet days ahead!
What a breathtakingly beautiful view.

I am really enjoying your series of heather shots - something we don't have in NZ, and such a gorgeous colour. Good luck with the competition.

What a great scene. Love the heather and the tiny farmhouse putting the shot into perspective.

Wow! What a lovely scene! I don't envy you having to narrow your choice for the competition!

I like this one the best and I don't think the house looks too small it just emphasizes the vastness of the countryside and the purple of the heather looks fantastic. Good luck with the competition.

I really like the layering
August 25th, 2014  
I love those rolling hills
August 25th, 2014  
The purple hillside is spectacular!

Beautiful landscape and I like the tiny house - it just emphasises the size of the fell.

The heather looks glorious

Isn't your competition black and white or is that another one? Its lovely to see these broad sweeps of the heather and remember the poems and the songs about them!

@snaphappi thank you Maggie & for the lovely fave. No this competition is in any form but has to be landscape format. I entered this one bit Jack just enlarged the house a little to make it more noticeable so we will wait. & see!
