Piddle Valley Rape

After a day spent in amongst the bluebells of both Hooke and Batcombe, it was good to get out of the woods, back into the sunshine and up on the downs.
As I drove back towards Dorchester across the tops, looking down across the Piddle Valley, a storm has just passed over, leaving a whole area of clouds across the skies, some still looking rather stormy and some not.
Across the valley there is a lot of rape this year, with yellow fields heading off into the distance, and the contrast of the clouds, blue skies, yellow rape and a lone green tree stood out as I drove past.
Not my usual style of photograph, but it was such an image as went by, it had to be captured.
