Lincolnshire Kalima

[colinb]

I have just read a thread by Kobione http://www.tipf.co.uk/index.php/topic/1943-my-first-real-attempt-at-stitching/#entry15093 and whilst I originally wasn't going to post these as they don't really show how much soil is actually in the air I thought some of you (johnP) might like to see these taken a couple of weeks ago just down the road in 'sunny' Lincolnshire.

 

For several days the soil was really being whipped up and off the fields and reminded me of the kalimas found on Fuerteventura.  Numerous roads had quite a few small soil drifts, fortunately we've had a little rain which has now helped calm things down and the crops have started to sprout as the weather warms up.

Very similar to what we are seeing now, Colin. Heaps of tilling and sowing going on - think our local farmers are 'living in hope' - it hasn't happened yet!! Thanks for sharing.

We had a similar experience a week or 2 back while walking the dog, it was a struggle to open your eyes at times.

 

Again, no photographic qualities.
