Wetlands Evening

An evening scene typical of the Somerset levels and a rhyne in need of rain to freshen the water, Note the Somerset spelling of the word Rhyne which in this part of country is used to describe drainage ditches.

Lovely light and a beautiful image, Roger. I'm glad you explained the word "Rhyne", it's not one I'd previously encountered. :-)

How lovely!

The light is beautiful and it's brought out some lovely colours in the plants and grasses. I like the detail too. I love the way you've picked out and concentrated on just a small bit of the landscape.

Well observed and taken Roger.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you Keith, the sun was really low and little to get in it's way on the levels so all I could do was stand up on a rail and point the camera downwards then then let the back light do the work.

Thank you for the lovely comments Sarah, with water surrounding most fields grass is almost always lush on the levels.

Again, you have captured the light so beautifully Roger. The detail and the low angle are superb and you even got a cow in the frame....Superb!

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne

Thank you Rosa, a difficult one to capture as the sun was very low and interfered with my first efforts and one day I will find a cow that's facing the right direction non of mine of late appear to have heads ;-))

I love the light in this scene, Roger. I have learned a new word... 'rhyyne'. In Scots, a drainage ditch is a 'sheuch'. All the best, Joe

Beau paysage marécageux avec de formidables couleurs d'une soirée estivale ! Les vaches semblent apprécier cet endroit festif !

Interesting data Roger, in the fens I think they call them "Cuts" presumably because they were man made and cut through the peat bogs. Good photograph and perspective, such a large variety of plant life.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Thank you Maurice, Cuts is another new name I'm gathering a few now and it's quite suprising how things vary area by area. The levels have a very diverse and interesting plant life.

Hi Roger

A very nice picture, with a wonderful composition.

I must admit I didn't know Rhyne either... The Rhine is in Germany of course!!

Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Many thanks Peter, Somerset has it's own words for many things, all roads on the levels are called Droves for instance
