A mass of red.

  Teesdale is an area not reknowned for arable landscape but when I got a tip-off about a stunning flowering of poppies in a field of Oilseed Rape then I thought I would go and take a look. The weather was just about right with sunshine and some cloud which brought out the intense colour of the flowers. The field was well away from public footpaths so I had to get special permission to visit the site and the difficulties of walking through waisthigh nettles and thistles on the field edges was well worth while.

Of course I took loads of photos, some of which can be viewed on the website: http://www.theteesdalegallery.co.uk/Teesdale%20gallery%2021.6.11.htm
