For me it's spring, if everywhere you look, you can see yellow fields. I think this is a typical look for springtime in germany.
These cereal fields are located in Alykos area between Tseri and Analiontas in Nicosia, Cyprus. The local name of the cone-shaped hill is “Vouni tis Rkas” (Granny's hill). According to folklore, the hill was originally a wheat pile which belonged to an old stingy woman. Jesus was passing from the area and asked for some wheat, but the woman refused and the wheat was transformed into soil; on a clear day one can see the inverted sieve of the woman at the hilltop.
Now, the scientific description: “Distinctive sedimentary geomorphology of Nicosia Formation. These hills are formed as their upper part consist of hard rock (usually sandstone or conglomerate) and the sides of soft marl rocks.” [Constantinou and Panagides (2013) Cyprus and Geology: Science, Environment, Culture].
Some technical info for those interested: this is a single RAW shot taken with Nikon D750 and Nikon 14-24 mm f/2.8 @ 14.0 mm and ƒ/8 with shutter speed 1/250s and ISO 100. Post processing first in LR for some basic adjustments and then to PS for enhancement and sharpening using Nik tools.
Let me know what you think!
Spring 2007. Little country lane running North South against the grain of the country. Looking towards the Cheviot Massif, Scottish Borders. Crops coming through the spring fields.
The fields and hillsides in Sharon, Idaho near Emigration Canyon get a nice variety of wildflowers in the spring. Camas and a variety of yellow flowers lead to an aspen grove in the distance. The tall green leaves will soon be clusters of large yellow arrowleaf balsamroot.
Monferrato hills, Piedmont, Italy. Langhe, Roero and Monferrato are places among precious wines, villages and castles. Wonderful landscapes sculpted by the combined action of nature and man, gentle hilly expanses dotted with wines as far as the eye can see, ancient villages surrounded by fields and imposing castles perched on hilltops.

What is canola?
The oilseed packed with healthy oil, protein and potential
In a few decades, canola has become one of the world’s most important oilseeds and one of Canada’s leading crops. Today canola is a true “made-in-Canada” success story and the foundation of a thriving, sustainable industry.
The canola plant
One of the most widely grown crops in Canada, canola plants produce beautiful small yellow flowers which develop into pods, resembling pea pods. Each pod contains tiny black seeds, made up of about 45% oil. Once harvested, canola seeds are crushed to release the oil contained within the seed.
Canola grown in Canada belongs to the Brassica napus B. rapa or B. juncea species which belong to a much larger mustard family (Brassicaceae). Cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower are also part of this same botanical family.
The history of canola seed in Canada
Historical records indicate that rapeseed was cultivated as early as 2000 B.C.E. in India and introduced into China and Japan around 35 B.C.E. Documented use or that of a close relative appears in the earliest writings of European and Asian civilizations. Rapeseed plants prefer to grow in relatively low temperatures, with less heat required for successful reproduction than other oilseed crops. Therefore, rapeseed was one of the very few oil sources that could be successfully grown in temperate climates. This led to rapeseed being grown in Europe as early as the 13th century. In later centuries, rapeseed was used for both cooking and lighting, as its oil produced a smokeless white flame. Rapeseed had a rather limited industrial acceptance until the development of steam power, when it was discovered that rapeseed oil would bind to water and steam washed metal surfaces better than any other lubricant. It was this special property that led to the introduction of rapeseed into Canada.
The need for Canadian rapeseed production arose from the critical shortage of rapeseed oil that was needed by Allied forces during World War II and were supplied by Canada to break the blockade of European and Asian sources in the early 1940s. The oil was urgently needed as a lubricant for the rapidly increasing number of marine engines in naval and merchant ships.

...mit Kornblumen, wie es sich gehört, auch wenn von Sommer in Deutschland bisher nicht viel zu spüren ist
Summer field with corn flowers how it should be, even if there isn`t much of a summer feeling due to the weather in Germany in the last weeks.
Canola Field in Caribou Maine. Small tornado going through contributed to the dramatic cloud effect.
