Lordington Lavender

Lordington Lavender
Lordington Lavender had their Open Days this past weekend before the crop is harvested. I made the mistake of going on Sunday! Hot, sweaty and hundreds of people.- with not a chance of getting any images of the whole field without anyone else in the shot - as you can see! Next year I may book one of their private group tours. I did manage to get a few half-decent images which I'll post over the next few days.

A link if anyone is interested: www.lordingtonlavender.co.uk

Oh, I really like it with the people. For a start, I'd have no idea how big the plants are without the people to add scale - you realise how wide the plants are like this. And how big the field is!

It's a fascinating shot. The English at leisure.

I really like the line of people on the horizon. It makes me think of one of those giant multi-lane slides at outdoor swimming pools, or the soft runners put down the edge of indoor bowling alley lanes. You expect to see people sliding gently down the lanes between the plants.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving such a well thought out comment. I love the idea of all those people sliding down the slope between the plants.

Not a carrot in sight though........not sure Rabbit would approve!

I can see why you'd prefer not to have all the crowds there and the lavender alone will make a great shot for next year BUT ... I love, love the way you've got the people almost in an arrowhead formation, it gives such a sense of movement and excitement. Bloody well done Keith!! Oh and congrats on the explore.

Thanks Noisette. It's not possible to visit this place outside of the open days.........it's on private property away from the roads and footpaths and well guarded (as the crop is very valuable).

I like the idea of coming to France, but my days of travelling abroad are probably over!

Je suis d'accord avec Noisette la présence des gens est plutôt un plus pour la photo, c'est comme des notes sur une portée de musique.Quand à venir en France, bien sûr mais il ne faut pas venir n'importe où car il n'y en a que dans certains endroits. Les Japonais et les les Chinois adorent venir s'y faire photographier. Amitié. Jean Paul

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thanks Herb. They have "open days" each year just before they cut it all down for processing (or they did until Covid-19 hit). Other than that the fields are inaccessible to the public. It's always really busy and impossible to get a shot with no people in it (unless you can afford to rent it privately before the open days)!

I was quite happy with this one though..........and I'm pleased you like it too!
