Canola crops between Ballarat and Beaufort in central West Victoria make a beautiful contrast against the leaden grey rain clouds that have dominated this region for weeks.

The colours earlier on the highway were even better before I finally stopped after creating the haiku in my mind. Maybe you have your next jumper planned now Sandra only have to get the wool.

Beautiful contrasts for sure. The brilliant yellow in the second photo is so striking. The lonely tree is an interesting touch. 🙂

Very interesting Haiku. I had no idea that field of ripening Canola oil would look like that.
Sure is a beautiful picture. Thanks for sharing, we learn something new every day.

Canola has become a big crop down here in Victoria, there are issues about the introduction of GM crops near Organic. I’m glad you liked the haiku.

I appreciate that you carry your camera. Must say that I never realized that canola was a plant. Someone had told me that it wasn’t, Guess they were wrong, eh?

I always have two cameras in the car and my wife has one so there are no missed shots Annette, except around the suburbs occasionally. Canola plants are cultivars of rapeseed especially developed for the oil.

Oh what a pair of beautiful images. Striking. And, I’ve learnt something I never realised that canola oil was a type of rapeseed oil. Canola always reminds of ‘The Godfather’.
