The Queen Field


The Queen Field is in the parish of Sutton Benger, North Wiltshire. It abuts the River Avon and is large and productive.
'John Deere' refers to the make of tractor engaged on the work, not the person driving it, unless there is a fantastic coincidence.
This is a significant crop (from the original photograph - not the field) and I was asking more of the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 (wide open, full stretch) than I had any right to seek.
Underneath the Queen Field lie valuable sharp sand and gravel deposits laid in Pleistocene times (within approximately the last two million years). The whole locality is characterised by this geology: the Church of All Saints, Christian Malford (from where this picture was taken) is built on 13th century foundations on a bed of clay - but underneath the clay is sand, which drains it so efficiently that it is forever contracting and expanding, and making the church perform an architectural dance.
How long will it be before the philistines with their fat wallets are permitted to excavate the Queen Field amid noise and dust and turn it into a lake, or worse, a rubbish tip?
Enjoy the view while you can.
