Hay Field at Grange Village
Here we see why early morning is known as the golden hour. Taken early on a summers morning just after the sun came up, the air is warming rapidly. The low sun is casting pleasant shadows across the golden field from the hay bales and the bales lead the eye off in two directions. In the distance and to the left is Belbulben mountain from which the sun's heat is beginning to burn off the morning dew. The contours of the mountain and the fields in the middle distance convey the nature of this sloping landscape as it stretches it's way down towards the ocean which is at the right of the scene but out of view
