Waiting in vain for rain by shepherdman

Waiting in vain for rain

We spotted this scene as we passed the field about 9 hours earlier, when the pylon rose from a low lying mist, surrounded by soft focus sheep. However, we were on our way to our granddaughter’s first birthday party in Leeds, over 100 miles away, and there are some things that must have priority, even over potential 365 images. We passed the field again on our homeward trip, with totally different lighting, and dark clouds threatening rain which, unfortunately for the dry brown pasture, was not delivered. This time we had time to stop and spent a few minutes leaning on the gate and enjoying this pastoral scene (give or take the occasional pylon…)
Love the perfect framing here and the sheep addition. Nicely spotted!!

That's a fabulous shot. FAV Love the tower and sheep combo, although I'm not sure if they should be under those wires.

It makes a really stunning shot and the evening colours are vibrant and intense, wonderful.
