lavender fields again by peadar

lavender fields again

This is certainly the most olfactory photographic experience I have ever had! The fragrance of the lavender was astonishing.

After a few lavender shots recently Fanny @fannyb suggested I get down close to the field, and this is the result!
Beautiful lines leading the eye through the image and the colour is beautiful. I can almost smell the lavender.

Oh, Peter - this is the most exquisite experience. . .and I say that rather than "shot" because it makes me feel that I could just get down on all fours and inhale all the beauty!
