The low winter sunshine shows up the undulations in the glacial till which blankets the land here. The rushes in the foreground tell us that the soil drains poorly, and this sort of wet land is difficult if not impossible to cultivate. It would have been a hard life for the occupants here, and for their horses, in bygone days when there were no tractors.
