Golden Wheatfield

On a warm summer's evening in the north western part of switzerland. On that particular evening I was surrounded by about ten hunters chasing wild boars. Those wild boars destroyed the fields the night before. I just set up my gear when a local farmer dropped by and asked me not to stay around for too long since the hunters want to kill those wild boars that evening/night. The rock in the distant is called "Belchenfluh" and is part of the jura mountains.

Thanks for the comments on my last post.

Excellent perspective on the scene, Bill, and the light is beautiful even if you did have to leave early. Feels like I am right there (except that I don't have to worry about a bunch of wild boars tearing up the scene, and perhaps the photographer!).

Wonderful gold color Bill. The bottom portion would make an excellent abstract on its own.

Beautiful, Bill. I love how the golden wheat leads into the greener hills.

Well seen and well caputred, Bill.
Lots of depth to this image and the darker trees in the centre draw your eye right in.
