"You cannot make the grass grow faster by pulling its blades" Dutch proverb meaning that you have to let things develop by preparing and carefully guidance, don't force it.

Another beautiful scene. I must say, given how beautiful your color work is, and how wonderful the colors are where you live, I would have liked to have seen this in color. It's a good composition, but I just wonder what the vibrancy of your greens and your skies might add. Just my thought.

@GJC: GJC I'll send you the picture in color, I found it too green :).
It looks fine in sepia, but I would have liked to see just a little bit of colour in all this brown. I think that some selective colour would have worked, giving the shot a bit of accent .....OR.....as GJC suggests above, better show us the landscape as it is! You know that I like Dutch landscapes!

I most certainly favour the coloured version where even the wood in the fence has a touch of green! Thank you for showing it, Eric!
