The remains


The remnants of some crop are being arranged into rows that will be gathered up by a different machine.

Wow. Is it time to harvest already? The summer always goes by too quickly!

Halcyon is right! In month time already we will have the grape harvest coming. A very nice photo, by the way!

Not too far from here a large wheatfield just right cut the farmer was making the balls. The stubble caught fire and a large part of the filed and a lot of balls burnt and the machine too !

Halcyon: This lot was ready to harvest, but there are other crops just coming up. The corn is tall, should be ready in a short while.

Blognote: Thank you! And welcome to Villigen.

Claude: I've heard of this happening. What a dreadful thing!

Once again, you love the geometry of lines, yes?

The more I looked at this image, the more I could feel an itch coming on - it took me right back to when I was a child helping my father with the wheat crop. Look at that straw dust that is being kicked up - not too good for my adult-onset asthma.

This is a very satisfying image. He has worked hard; has achieved much; just a little left to mow; and he's coming straight at us.
