the old masters

Saw this and thought yes that would make a good picture...

footpath in the mist

before we get too carried away

Before we get too carried away with it all looking from the other direction of the previous picture. We see that what has been cleared doesn't follow exactly the path of the footpath. Which it misses by several yards. So do we follow this one that is cleared or do we use the follow footpath that crosses the crops?

Clearing a path

Yesterday was pleased to find that the farmer has mown the footpath which goes across the crops in his fields. First time I have seen him do that. I've only started to this footpath regularly in the last year. Wish other farmers were like that. According to the first Ordinance survey map of this area in the early 1890 s it follows the edge of an earlier hedge that separated this larger field in two. Which is why the tree is still there.
