There are lots of fields (des champs) like this near me at the moment; they're beautiful. Sunflowers are an incredible flower, they're so big and tall. Here they are used to produce oil for cooking.
What a pity they're not in the field next to my garden instead of THE MAIZE!

My horizon
By carolweb on Friday, April 9 2010,
This photo's quite different, but it has a story.
"A tractor,", I hear you say. Yes, but you didn't look far enough (assez loin), the title is 'My Horizon'.
This is the view I have from my house, I can see the horizon and it's very important for me, I need space, I need to see. I bought this house 12 years ago because it has a beautiful view over the fields.
The story? That tractor is preparing the soil and
this one is planting maize. In 15 days the maize will start growing, it will grow and grow and grow and will finally block my view! I will not be able to see the horizon, just a wall of maize, and like that from July to the beginning of November. 4 months behind a green, then yellow, then brown wall.
When it is finally cut it's like a prison opening, suddenly I can see again!
So I'm not happy to see the this tractor in "my" field.
I also photographed the tractors to send the photos to my 3 year-old grandson who loves tractors.
