Wow, that is really beautiful. It must be something to behold in person.

Thanks :)
It is.
And the smell of it is just awesome too.
Some say it stinks, but I love it.

I remember last year at this time I came home to Germany from Kuwait and the sight of lots of Rape fields, open windows and their smell is what greeted me on the Highway.

Einfach zu herrlich, diese frischen Farben. Und es macht unheimlich viel Freude, seine Liebste darin sanft und vorsichtig hineinzustupsen...:-)
Sei lieb gegrüßt

Beautiful! I bet it smell a bit sweet? :) This may sound weird (but I am a bit weird) but I loved the tree in the background, the one who stands out a little. Beautiful shot.

What a beautiful field! Do you know the fairy tale of Rapunzel? In the beginning when she was pregnant, I think it was Rape that she wanted her husband to bring her....I maybe wrong, si I need to google this. Bye.

Umm...never mind, according to Wiki there is a plant actually called Rapunzel...although in some versions it is referred to as radishes, or lamb's lettuce...

Ich habe das Gold auch bewundert, auf der Heimfahrt gestern. Es sieht einfach wundervoll aus.

Thanks everyone :)! Danke :)

I do know the Rapunzel tale, Dan, but I totally forgot about the part of being pregnant and flowers. Need to look it up again :D

@Øyvind
Not weird at all.
That was my main focus to take the pic :)
They didn't come out the way I wanted, but entirely my fault, sigh... I like it anyway :)

Ja, Ingrid, ich werde nie vergessen, wie gut das fuer mich letztes Jahr gerochen hat, als ich aus Kuwait heim kam und wie genial das alles aussah.

Somehow I just can't make the beauty of this work with the word "rape". There's a clash there that my mind just will not resolve.

Thanks, Nukke

I know, Mojo.
There are certain names in English that just don't get down easy.
"Rape field" "Pussy willow" "Cockchafer"
WEIRD :)
