Thank you David, trust you have dried out now!

Très belle photo nature pour la journée mondiale de la photographie . Bonne soirée. Nicole .

Lovely comments Nicole, thank you.

Well captured Roger despite the weather. I like the long grasses around the water and the bales in the field. Nice perspective and contrasts. A lovely shot

A tad damp underfoot and overhead ;-)) Thank you for the lovely comments.

Excellent capture! Happy World Photography Day!

Thank you William,

A grey day down under here, too, Rog! Spring attempting to break through the last days of winter, and not succeeding. Enjoy your day nevertheless ! D

Thank you D,, our weather is going in the opposite direction sadly.

Fine perspective, glad you found shelter.

Many thanks Gillian.

ein sehr schönes ländliches Photo

Thank you!

Beautiful landscape image; looks so quiet and peaceful.

Thank you Jaap, It is very lightly populated.

There is something magical about the Levels Roger. Even in poor weather they look good to me. Well done.

Thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Many thanks, For me they are more attractive in moody weather !

Thanks Nick. I love all of my great friends in the U.K.

Sad News indeed,Nick, Thank you for passing on!

Die Natur freut sich über den Regen und du has das auch sehr schön ausgenutzt für diese tolle Naturaufnahme lieber Roger,das Gras ist auch im Plastik verstaut :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Lovely comments, Plastic raincoats ;-)) thank you Guni,.

A beautiful image to justify your venture into the dismal weather, Roger. Coffee later sounds like the perfect follow-up.

Thank you, George, it really was miserable weather day,
The coffee was helped down with Cherry Scone!

Cela reste beau quand même bonne journée Roger.

It is a grey and rainy day but you have done a nice composition with these long grasses and the bales in the field! I like the nice perspective,Roger!

Best wishes
Füsun

Very comments Fusun, really appreciated.

It seems like your weather was pretty much the same as ours Roger..........I gave up trying to get a decent landscape shot and made do with photographing flowers..........but you did well to persevere!

Despite the featureless sky, you've still got some fairly decent light and some nice detail and colour in the landscape. The water makes a lovely leading line. I note the hay bales, but don't you find it annoying when they wrap them up........not a thought for us photographers :-)))

I hope you didn't get too wet and that you enjoyed your coffee!

Many thanks for the terrific comments Keith, I don't mind a bit of alternative weather, but the strong wind and rain combination was a bit much!
Coffee and a scone won the day very quickly.;-))
p.s all the other fields had unwrapped bales, may well pop back later in the week, weather permitting.

Très belle vue d'ensemble, une chance le foin est au sec !
Bonne soirée Roger.

Thank you Jocelyne, It has it's rain coat on ;-))

Hi Roger
I like this picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition, and a great match to Carol's picture.
Fantastic colours too, especially considering the sunlight available!
Best Wishes, HWPD,, and stay safe!!
Peter

Terrific comments Peter, thank you,
because of the lack of pollution the light on the levels is generally very good even when the weather is not at its best!

Bei euch ist wohl auch wenig Wasser

Thank you, The ground is at or below sea level, and the water table is maintained by a large and complex system of rivers and watercourses.

It's a very interesting view, Roger! Love it!

Thank you Armando My part of the country.

It' s a fantasic capture despite the bad weather conditions. The landscape looks so peaceful.

Very nice comments Percy, thank you, Low population numbers.

BALES IN RAINCOATS !!

Thank you Pam, they are needed on the levels, ;-))

Water...rain... you make me dream !

Thank you Isabel, It gets to be a pain at times!

But the most important thing: you made it, your contribution to the WPD, Roger;-)

Thank you Christa!

Yes.
Like an old flower.
It still stands many memories.

Thank you Jose, I was born and bred in the county despite many travels I still live down here in the West Country!

I'm glad you braved the weather. I quite enjoy seeing this scene, and large one appreciates the textures in the grasses even more. I hope the coffee was plenty warm!

Did doing this for the event feel a bit more like an adventure than other photography days for you?

Happy World Photography Day!

Thank you Laura, I have been intending to participate for a number of years but life has a way of changing intentions, however this year we went despite the weather and managed a few shots before a ragged retreat in the face of wind driven rain.
We will be back again next time !

beautiful.
Taking a picture and then a coffee ist a good way to spend a day ;-)

Thank you, It worked for us !

Wet and windy depicts a typical summers day

Thank you Peter, the beautiful levels!

Well done for braving the weather to get down to basics at the Somerset Levels, Roger. Retiring to the coffee shop was a very wise move.
Happy World Photography Day, Roger.

Thank you Amelia, It is only a short distance from home but sadly the weather changed so quickly as it does on these wide open spaces but we managed a few shots before coffee and scones.

Still you captured beautiful grasses, reeds, and a classic British field horizon - to say nothing of the feel of wet, drenching weather.
I'm surprised to see the hay baled with black plastic. A big improvement on the white marshmallow types we always see here, I think!
