Elusive Yellow Fields

Img_0035 When I first came to the Czech Republic the summer of 1998 I was enraptured by these bright yellow fields.  They were incredible.  The rapeseed plant is grown to produce oil and biofuels.  But I just wanted a picture of the yellow magic.  For the last 10 years I have either not had my camera with me, arrived in the country after the blooms had fallen, or not had transportation when the fields were in bloom.  But, finally this last Sunday I had the winning combination: a camera, a bike, the sun, and a magnificently bright field in full bloom.  Here are a couple of my favorites.  Nothing spectacular as far as photography goes, but I like them.Img_0046_4Img_0031Img_0037 Img_0021
