An industrial landscape It doesn't look like one, but the field in front of us, apart from the bank in the immediate nearground, is a couple of metres lower than the natural ground surface.  This is part of the area that in the middle to late 20th century was strip-mined for iron ore, and the land returned to agriculture afterward.

This is a compound image stitched from 12 individual ones to form a panorama around 90 degrees wide.
