Obelisk in Oilseed Rape Field (PiP)

beautifully composed this obelisk above the yellow rapeseed.

Good work.
Have a great new week :-)

I stopped the car on the way back from Stourhead to take a picture of a similar scene Keith :) Yours has the added interest of the obelisk however! The blue sky does it for me and I love the framing of the PiP with the tree branches. Fields of gold all around at the moment!

There's lots of oilseed rape fields in flower at the moment............but it's not always easy to find one with a bit of interest in it in addition to the flowers. I was lucky that my wife spotted it as we drove by............and that there was a lay-by handy.

Glad you like it Rosa...........thank you.

Oh Keith, this is just SO MUCH NICER than that horrifying monstrosity in the last picture! :D :D

Honestly, rape fields were a truly remarkable thing for me to see when I first started looking at pictures on Flickr and then ipernity. They stagger the mind in their endless yellow! So lovely to see, and in this case, how COOL to get that obelisk in there as a focal point! So interesting to see and naturally, it's a perfect, "Keith Burton" picture! LOVE the inset too with the branches forming a lovely frame. I do see how clouds would add even more but both pictures are outstanding so you can be quiet now! :D :D (thanks for the info too, always interesting to read about!)

Oh my, company in a couple of days, won't that be wonderful! I do know the love/not so much love about company...it's so nice to see them but *yawn*...so tiring with the focused attention and needing to be "on" whenever you're in a shared room area! :)

It is grand to have you back. And totally reasonable if you cannot visit or comment on some/most days...it's just crazy how company throws the routine out the window! :D

Your photo could serve as a model how to do rule of thirds, it's so well composed. It seems raps seed starts to bloom earlier every year....

perfect pic comp!

The rape field is beautiful and the obelisk adds a perfect touch!

perfect composition of landmark and field!

I like both. The tree framing perhaps shades it for me. We get so many clear blue skies here that I try and avoid shots of them now!

Thanks so much for all your kind comments and yellow stars. Much appreciated folks..!!

Interessanter Obelisk in einer bezaubernden Umgebung! Er hat sogar einen Blitzableiter.

Thanks very much Wilhelm. Much appreciated.

Wow, imagine having your own historical obelisk! I especially like the inset one.

Thanks Diane................personally I wouldn't want one - they're getting dead common now :-))

Plus, the dusting would be miserable!

Dusting (or any kind of housework) is OK................the trouble is, once you've done it, you have to do it all again a year later!

Haha!

It looks great how the obelisk rises out of the rape field. I like the contrast between the blue sky and the yellow field. You're right - a few white clouds would have been great.
