Field by the Atlantic Highway

Looking left from where SW9469 : Field by the Atlantic Highway was taken; that image suggests the crop might have been brussels sprouts (this one looks rather into the sun). The wood on the left drops into the valley of the Polmorla Stream, which meets the Camel at Wadebridge.

Looking left from where SW9469 : Field by the Atlantic Highway was taken, towards the same conifer wood. The crop looks as if it might have been brussels sprouts - see TF3322 : Millions boiled ... because of Christmas Day, for instance.
