Barley Tracks

06 Apr 2016, Posted by Elliot Hook in

A simple image of some tractor tracks in a barley field on the edge of Langford in Bedfordshire. I love spring for the appearance of new growth, and crops are no different. The setting sun cast a beautiful light over the barley field on this…

Hertfordshire’s Palouse

Some rolling farmland on the chalk escarpment near Therfield, Hertfordshire.  This is one of my favourite spots in Hertfordshire so I return frequently under different weather conditions or in different seasons. Caught at the right time of year, with the sun just catching the crests…
