Harvest Home

I went out for a dusk cycle this evening to try out my new lights and also to try and get some shots of bales and sunsets. I'd spotted a potential target field of bales on the way home from work, but the light wasn't right for them. I did get a nice shot of the sun setting behind a group of trees which can be seen here

I found a field which was being harvested as I cycled past, so I stopped to have a look. As I was pulling into the gateway there was a flurry of movement in the hedge bottom. Initially I thought it was a rabbit or perhaps a hare moving away from the noise and dust of the Combine, but in fact it was a fox running from the noise, and then it saw me and changed course and bounded away over the swaths of straw. There was also a tractor baling in this field which can be seen here.

But in the end I have chosen this picture showing the combine discharging the wheat in to the trailer symbolising the approaching end of the harvest for another year.
