 There's a lovely lane in my village, through the fields & hedgerows. And the other day whilst rambling along it, I found this. Must have taken quite some effort to get it all there, but hey ! gotta be easier than going to the proper tip....

I don't expect to do well with this pic; I'm sure that shots of grazing horses & cute chickens will do better, but for me, this sums up the reality of country life perfectly.

Crop, cloned out a power line, levels, gradient map overlay, USM, SFW

I agree with BakerBug. Anybody (myself included) can point themselves in a direction that conveys an iconic (and largely unreal) sense of country, but there is a something a lot more honest in this.

It may be a common country scene but it's not very intersting to look at it IMO.

Not a very pleasing image, however, what are you doing taking pictures in my neighborhood? (lol)
