This is a wonderful photo. The only critique I have is that the telephone pole and wires are detracting , but overall a beautiful photograph.

Thanks :XD: I should have a look at the pole etc - they'd be easy enough to remove, but I can hardly see them on my netbook screen :XD:

I enjoy these stark images of the lonely remnants of life lived. Just where the heck is this? It looks so desolate and COLD.

Nothing wrong with doing something strictly for the joy of it - don't have to reinvent the wheel. Just here to have fun. :rose:

Just across the lane from my mum and dad's house - I've been wandering in those fields for twenty years, and although there's a new landowner now there are still lots of footpaths, so I can still wander :D It's an odd place - fields that were not well looked after, and an abandoned farmhouse where someone committed suicide [link] (which I think is why the family no longer lived there...) But now it's been made into holiday cottages, and the fields are being 'looked after' (which is good in a way, but things I've known forever are changing...)

And it was cold :D Thawing now, though...

Ooh, you're still in Christmas Eve, aren't you? At least, I guess you haven't been to sleep yet! i'm enjoying Christmas morning :D

What a beautiful area. You'd go into shock if you saw what is called 'developement' out here. From 2000 to 2008 alone, the city I live in grew 17% in population (177,045 people currently). It's soulcrushing and beats me down when I think of it.

That other shot you linked was amazing. Was that cow dung being flung from that tractor? Lol. I've never seen anything like that.

Question that's been eating at me for a few days: Do you pack up your cats and take them with you on visits out of town?

I guess I'm lucky really - the biggest 'city' I've lived in was York, which is such a glorious place that it doesn't matter it's a city. But I hate living in town. At the moment I live on the outskirts of Conwy, which is great as towns go, but still I want to be somewhere like my parents', where the nearest neighbour is two fields away. But they're pretty careful about development at least around here, to an extent. Lots of fields been built on down on the coast, but up where my mum and dad live it's a national park, so development is very restricted (by fifty-year-old Welsh men with a VERY odd idea of what's 'suitable' for the area, but that's another story... At least it stops people building all sorts everywhere...)

Yep, the other shot was of muck-spreading - the joyous task of filling the muck-spreader with cow manure and the like and flinging it over the fields to fertilise them :D It's actually a quite pleasant smell, in a way :D Luckily it snowed the next night and covered it all over before I went for a walk through those fields :D

And yes, when we come up to mum and dad's we pack up the cats and take them. They love it up here, and the other cats are getting used to them slowly. Mum and dad have three cats, four geese and six chickens, so we housesit for them when they go away, and taking the cats negates having to have someone look after our cats when we're looking after theirs.
