Obelisk in Oilseed Rape Field (PiP)

Obelisk in Oilseed Rape Field (PiP)
This obelisk stands in private property at the edge of the grounds of Bicton Park Gardens Devon. It was built in 1747 by Henry Rolle, 1st Baron Rolle (1708–1750) as a visual attraction for the gardens. I was only able to get this shot from a nearby road by scrambling up an embankment and shooting over the fence. It provided a point of interest in the field of oilseed rape. I could have done with some clouds too, but you can't have everything :-)

I hope to have caught up with everyone by this evening...........but I have family coming to stay with us on Wednesday for a few days, so I'll probably end up even further behind by the end of the weekend!

Plus, the dusting would be miserable!

It looks great how the obelisk rises out of the rape field. I like the contrast between the blue sky and the yellow field. You're right - a few white clouds would have been great.

Dusting (or any kind of housework) is OK................the trouble is, once you've done it, you have to do it all again a year later!
