Redhill Fields by phil_howcroft

Redhill Fields

Sunday morning was a complete contrast to the previous 6 days of the week that had gone before it. We've had rain rain and more rain....but today was a beautiful sunny morning.

It was too good an opportunity to waste, so we went on a walk to Bestwood Country Park along the Collier's Footpath (a footpath that was used by the miners of Arnold and Redhill who used to walk to Bestwood Colliery 'back in the day')

A great morning for a Whippet walk and an opportunity to take a few nice pics too.

I did a monochrome conversion on this because it had great textures and tones;

The fields have appeared on my 365 before .....

...... almost exactly a year ago. Last years shot was was taken about a 100 metres further down the path from here and that too was converted to monochrome too !
Beautiful

Very lovely and you still have stubble. All ploughed in here - and very very very soggy underfoot. Very disgruntled dog as only one small hoop session allowed!

I dropped by to see if you'd posted so I could wish you Happy Christmas but I'm double posting here instead. So Happy Christmas & I'm really glad you stayed for a second year - it wouldn't be the same without you Phil!
