I originally titled this "Meadow at Axe Edge Green Farm", but my girlfriend, who is a proper ecologist with certificates and everything, told me that it isn't really a meadow since there's actually very little ecological diversity in it. The very vivid green (not a camera trick, by the way; it really was this colour!) indicates that the ground has been "improved" by fertiliser, which allows a few species of plant to flourish at the expense of a wider variety of more interesting plants. Anyway, I thought it was worth a photograph for the colours alone.
