This is the start of a series of beautiful things we have seen in our travels. They are not necessarily famous monuments and buildings, designated UNESCO heritage sites or something that has to be included in a travel itinerary. But all of them are dream-like in nature and they made me pause and reflect and appreciate that beauty lies everywhere in this vast world.
The photos in this post were taken while we were driving in Kent looking for a picnic site. It was May 2012 and soon we would be leaving Britain for good. Looking at these photos reminded me that a good spring day in Britain is as close to a fairy-tale as you could get.
The seeds of these Brassica plants are sown in September, produces yellow flowers in springtime and is harvested at the end of July. The harvested black seeds of the rapeseed plants are then used to produce rapeseed oil. It is hard to believe that something as mundane as oil and seeds originate from a sea of brilliant yellow flowers.
