Your railside path looks quite inviting! I’ve been enjoying your photos almost as much as your sketches (I’m a sketcher myself).
Yes, what a contrast to the farm land adjacent to it. The lone tree probably marks a past hedge line but now its surrounded by acres of winter wheat.
I’m on the last day of my black and white challenge and I feel I’ve learnt something by limiting myself. Perhaps I’ll be more aware of tone. I love pen and ink and watercolour, so line and colour is what I go for and tone gets relegated to third place. Perhaps that will all change! (I doubt it, I’ll soon slip back into my comfort zone).
