For Winter by maggiemae

For Winter

A long line of bales stretch across the field in front of where we are parked. Had to climb over the fence which was successful and I didn't fall into the field!
Friendly folk in this country Domain - a lot of motorhomes and a few small vans who have foreign inhabants.
Three Good Things:
1. A nearby hamlet is well known for making delicious pies so we bought two, a steak and onion and a mince cheese.
2. Lunch in a cemetery. In the middle of a mountain valley on a rise, these old gravestones tell stories. Most of them in the 1800's.
3. John could watch the rugby on our wee TV and I could too - if I wanted to!
We are feeding our silage bales out already .. very dry here .. great shot of this long sausage of silage.. I saw last night on tv news that there is snow on the mountains down there ... hope you got your woolly hat ..

@julzmaioro yes, snow on the high mountains around us! No woolly hats though- our van has central heating!

It looks like some enormous monster caterpillar! Probably related to the one in Alice in Wonderland!

I love seeing those long lines of wrapped bales, good on ya for climbing the fence to get this shot. Your TGT, the first two sound great, pass on the rugby, all AFL down here.

Well, you caught that sun at just the right moment to highlight the background. Never knew hay could make for a great leading lines shot.

Sounds like an all in all fabulous day, lovely shot!

Looks like turquoise waves rolling in!

Wonderful capture.

Neat leading line, composition

Nice shot. I like the leading line caused by the angle of the bales.

Great shot and I’m pleased for you the fence wasn’t electric.

How interesting ...I've never seen bales wrapped like this! It's good that you managed to climb over the fence to get this pic!

On first view I thought it was a shot of something holding back water, but then I saw the cows.

They are Jewel big bales maggie! I have seen various colours before. Ours are mostly black but some green, some white & occasionally pink but these shiny ones are lovely! Good job that fence wasn’t tight or electric!

Can’t say I have seen this colour before, nice capture
March 3rd, 2019  
the color makes them look more like ocean waves in a field A fabulous image!

@happypat @grammyn I have been trying to post more photos online now we are at another campsite where there is Wifi. Very slow. Absolutely no cellphone coverage anywhere.

In the thumbnail I thought this was a waterfall. Got quite a surprise to see it was round bales all in a row. We stack ours three high.

@ubobohobo Obviously the farmer has plenty of space here!
