Sunset over a rape field

The footpath we were on went smack through the middle of this field with only the narrowest path left for walking,

Wow - fantastic shot.

This has an eerie feel to it, with the grey sky and back lit flowers. I like it.

@herecirm Thanks for the fav. @clareannbrady @judithdeacon Thanks for comments. This was seriously a just point and shoot. It was latish, around 8p.m and a pleasant evening. I was on a footpath literally in the rape field! I didn't even have my Lumix, just my little Kodak Easyshare that I can put in my pocket.

Beautiful photo. Just what is a *rape field*?

@jimmyveee Oilseed Rape, a crop much grown in the East of England and also now in Northern France I noticed last week. The oiul produced is very low in saturated fats and is used in food manufacture. I believe in North America the oil produced is called Canola. Some growers round here have for a few years been cold-pressing this like they do olive oil and marketing in the same way. It is pretty much a flavour free zone and I prefer olive oil, but it is a very healthy form of oil. Also the cold presed is very expensive.
