The Little Church in the Field

My contribution to the World Photography Day group. I have taken lots of photos of this church over the years and it remains one of my favourite places. The landscape changes throughout the year, and so do the crops planted in the field. This year it is sunflowers. The foreground gets very wet and boggy in the winter time as the rain runs off the hill towards the road.........hence the reason for the little bridge.

It is also a very peaceful place. Sometimes when I visit, I like to sit on a bench in the church grounds and just enjoy the views and the quietness.

I initially arrived here mid-morning but it was overcast and drizzling with rain. The sunflowers were all facing towards the church, which I wanted to get in the photo, so although I took some photos I was disappointed.

I revisited again later in the day when the sun was out and took this photo. Unfortunately the sunflowers were still facing in the wrong direction, but I decided this was the best I was going to get and anyway, the rain clouds were gathering again.

Out of several shots I took, this was my wife's favourite........so if you don't like it I can blame her. No pressure :-)
