Countryside in summer by maggiemae

Countryside in summer

A bit short of power to allow my computer to work so we aimed our destination at a Park with power. The first one we came to, didn’t have cell coverage which is just as bad so we went on. It was 23degC here and we opened all windows at Mt Somers Domain where they rely on honesty! Power, water, toilets - put the money down a pipe!
Three good things:
1. Got this photo on the way - the lines in the mowed fields caught my eye - not just on the left but also the right!
2. The NZ Sevens were on in Wellington so we managed to get our satellite working for them! (actually ignored them for a while while we read our books in the sun)
3. Leftovers for tea after a good lunch in a remote valley pub where guys walked in with no gumboots, (they were outside) a singlet and a sunhat on!
gorgeous countryside, great colors

Wonderful landscape. When I read your no 3. I thought 'hope they had trousers on with their singlet and sunhat!'

Love this countryside shot of the striped fields on both sides! I always enjoy your 3 good things.... I had to look up "singlet" and "gumboots" as we don't have these in our vocabulary in Texas. :)

Beautiful shot, great lines and colours. I also hope they wore shorts or trousers too hehe :-)
January 28th, 2017  
Yes, shorts and hairy legs, Sally! @salza

@ckwiseman I wonder what Texas calls a singlet! Britons would call gumboots, wellingtons but what would you call them?
January 28th, 2017  
@jesperani Yes, 'farmer's shorts - wide and somewhat stained!

This is a beautiful landscape -- no wonder that the lines in the fields caught your eye! The road looks to be a bit steep; even so, worth the drive for this awesome view!

What a pretty view- it reminds me of Vermont (although the mountains in NZ are probably higher).
