Sun rays poking through the distant rain clouds over the Maasai Mara grasses with a lone acacia tree among the zebras and wildebeest grazing the long grasses. Just the start of the great migration into the Mara.

The Pannonian Plain is a large plain in Central Europe that remained when the Pliocene Pannonian Sea dried out. It is a geomorphological subsystem of the Alps-Himalaya system.
The river Danube divides the plain roughly in half.
The plain is divided among Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and Ukraine.
The plain is roughly bounded by the Carpathian mountains, the Alps, the Dinaric Alps and the Balkan mountains.
Although rain is not plentiful, it usually falls when necessary and the plain is a major agricultural area; it is sometimes said that these fields of rich loamy loess soil could feed the whole of Europe. For its early settlers, the plain offered few sources of metals or stone. Thus when archaeologists come upon objects of obsidian or chert, copper or gold, they have almost unparalleled opportunities to interpret ancient pathways of trade.
The precursor to the present plain was a shallow sea that reached its greatest extent during the Pliocene, when three to four kilometres of sediments were deposited.
The plain was named after the Pannonians, a northern Illyrian tribe. Various different peoples inhabited the plain during its history. In the first century BC, the eastern parts of the plain belonged to the Dacian state, and in the first century AD its western parts were subsumed into the Roman Empire. The Roman province named Pannonia was established in the area, and the city of Sirmium, today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia, became one of the four capital cities of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century.

"There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile;
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together in a little crooked house."
First of all - I like happy, sappy endings. This is the field, beside the house, where the cat basks in the sun.
my girlfriend convinced me of a walk through the fields. otherwise i probably wouldn't have captured this amazing scenery.

Apparently I have to mention the person who lent me the Canon 5D Mark II for the day. It was my sister Em scott who also seems reluctant to comment on my shot.

I took this out near Thirsk North Yorkshire. I drove around all day and had wanted to capture the yellow of a rape field. The local farmers do not seem to have grown any this year so I had to travel out of my way to find some. Its strange but I probably rated this about 5th out of 6 decent shots from the day. Slowly it has crept up the scale to become number 1. Well worth the drive.

Another from this fall....one of my favorite trees; I've often wondered why it's still standing, especially in the midst of a large farm field...and like to think, it must mean something special to someone. Have a great Friday, and as always, thanks for stopping by to visit!!!!
