Grass of Silver

This field was until recently used to grow on seedlings of larch and pine for planting in Forestry Commission England plantations. The grass was planted in this and other fields when the nursery closed, in order I think, to minimize wind erosion of the sandy soil. In some fields nature is doing the same job with wild plants such as thistles, clover etc. The silver is a result of sunlight on the grass that is being blown about by a strong wind.
