Baked earth

Comments

Apt title for the well captured effects of a major heat wave Robert, a taste of which we all got earlier this summer, long gone now of course !

Fabulous. I love the palette you've used. It's great the way the eye moves gradually up the hill.

A scene that very effectively conjures up heat and dust - well done, Robert!

It looks really hot and the poor earth can't take it any more. You have achieved to show us the dryness and the faded colours of the heat! Good work Robert!

Satu has said it. I suspect it wasn't too far from how it has looked lately. Dusty and dry. Too hot.
