The Golden Hourby ~allym007

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold

Lyrics from Fields Of Gold by Sting

Lovely shot! I really need to get my hands on that Sigma 10-20, seems like everybody is using it these days and the results are awesome.
