One of the footpaths from the Southwell Trail cuts across two fields to the Hexgreave Estate stables. It terminates at a gate with no other option excepting turning around and walking back. That said, I often enjoy the photography from this path as it provides a good open aspect for catching the prevailing weather conditions, as I show below.
In addition, to the weather there were other points of interest on the path during October. Firstly, there was a fine bloom of yellow flowers in one of the fields which looked like rapeseed, although that seemed unusual in October. Secondly, the maize crop in the next field had been harvested during the month restoring the views of a small wooded area that colours nicely in autumn plus the open views by the sable gate. The maize had grown well over head height before it was cut in the second week of the month.
These were some of the scenes from the field with the yellow flowers, the best captures including streaks of sunlight and dark clouds which I always think makes a good combination:
In the next field I captured my final photograph of the maize before it was cut followed by the post harvest lines of stubble:
Once the maize had been removed the views were restored to the now autumnal looking wood with some dramatic looking weather overhead:
Finally, at the end of the path is a rather simple view - an horizon line with some pylons and utility poles, which doesn’t sound particularly promising from a photographic point of view but often works well with a bit of weather:
