 A brief reprieve from cold, grey, wet and windy (well it was still cold, but easy to believe otherwise from the interior of our car, and I was not out of it for long.) We passed this scene and I realized it fitted this challenge, and my husband actually offered to go back.

why the glow around the cows doesn't look natural? They look like neonlight boards. The composition and colours are perfect. Really love this shot
