The road over the hills

A lazy day after consuming far too much red wine with our very dear friends Donna and Stuart last night. I slept in until 11am, which felt very decadent!!

Lawn mown, Epsom Derby day watched, and then a quick spin to the road between Bradmore and Plumtree to photograph a favouite scene of mine.

Off to hunt butterflies with @runningbk tomorrow, very much looking forward to it too, hoping to see and photograph a very rare British butterfly.

Oh my goodness, can't imagine how amazing sleeping til 11 would feel. 7 is a good day around here! Love this rambling road. Have fun on your butterfly hunt tomorrow!

[Alison Tomlin]

11!! You need a dog! Love the curves in this leading to the fluffy clouds.

[Sean O'Neill]

@fueast An alarm clock would be cheaper ;)

[Ceeceebee]

The advantage of lads growing up is a lie in! Happy butterfly hunting.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love the lines of the road and in the fields too.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Those verges of sheeps parsley are just amazing. Undulating landscape and road remind me of a David Hockney painting. Beautiful.

[Jocasta]

This is a great b&w - all the fabulous textures and tones

[Heidi Parnell]

Well good for you and why the devil not! 11am lie in is like mid afternoon round here ha ha! Beautiful scene Sean looks really serene :)

[Paula W]

I love that cow parsley edging the road and the pylons ontop of the hill. Look forward to seeing the butterfly pics.

Lovely winding road and works well in b&w.

[Aurelie Jacquet]

Really nice!

[Rachel Withey]

Great shot, love all the lines and it works really well in black and white

[Cally]

Great b&w! I like the contrast.

[Ross Walker]

The curves are great. I wish the power companies were more considerate of photographers.

[Annie D]

I love the lines, composition and perspective of this shot - stunning

[Cazla]

Nice lead in lines and tones

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

[Al Bailey]

Gorgeous b&w shot :)

[Corinne]

like the different lines, splendid !

[Ivan]

That's another beautiful mono, Sean, this time a super landscape with a road leading onwards tot he horizon and those lovely clouds. Not able to get to my PC at the moment, just the laptop with PS E 5.0 so no Nik! And no auto-correct either!

[Debbie]

love the b&w, and the leading road

[Hubregt Visser]

Beautiful shot of the long and winding road. Great sky. Great B&W as ever.

[8yearson]

Wonderful leading lines.... Hope you are not hanging too badly for the butterfly hunt tomorrow!

[emily tull]

[Ruth Lueth]

Wow, Sean, very beautiful! Love all the lines and different structures. It's stunning in b&w

[David]

Great cycling country! Perfectly composed and excellent processing choice, Sean.

[Sean O'Neill]

@yrhenwr Cheers David, it is the road between Bradmore and Plumtree, just off the A60 south of Nottingham.

[David]

@seanoneill I thought it looked familiar! I used to ride around that area back in the 50s before girls distracted me!

[Sean O'Neill]

@yrhenwr haha, nowadays it would be an XBox providing the distraction!!

[FPG]

You are the B&W king!
