Wild Harborough

A verdant green field bursting with a plethora of plant life. The grassland is dominated by small yellow flowers under blue skies. Part of a tree comes into view from the righthand side of the photo, framing the field beyond. Sunlight bathes the view in a golden glow. A wooden fence can be seen in the distance, stretching across the entire length of the photo, and is lined with trees and more plant life.

A river cuts through the centre of a verdant grassland, the sun shining to reveal rocks and plant life at the bottom of its waters. The skies are bright and blue with few clouds, and the fields host a variety of brush, tree, and a plethora of small yellow flowers which dominate the landscape. Trees and hedgerow in the far distance line the boundaries of the grassland.
