The Milkman's Been...

[Korky]

As I walked past this farm entrance, my eye was caught by the three bottles of milk. So I took a couple of photographs.

 

I like the resulting image, but in a somewhat reserved kind of way. I've spent a lot of time gawping at it to see if it grows on me, but this one's a real creeper.

Don't know what but the picture certainly has interest and keeps the eye wondering around the frame, I would be happy with it.

[NannyFerret]

I like it!

[Karenp]

I like it too!

I like it too, I'd probably prefer to see the right hand gate post too though. :)

Thanks, all - I'm looking at it differently already.

 

Judy - Yes, I just happened to have 3 pints of milk in my rucksack. Doesn't everyone?

Ah, but then consider Von Karajan's own ending to Schubert's "Unfinished Gate". Most regard it as very fitting.

I like this a lot Korky but I have to ask, do they not give full pints of milk up there or did you drink all the cream and put the tops back on?

[Korky]

That milk seems to be creating a lot of interest, so I'll come clean.....

 

The milk I took with me in case I found a farm gate. Yes, I had the cream off the top of the milk - Weetabix is rubbish without it.

 

The farm sign I did in chalk just before I took the photograph.

 

The gate is a build-it-yourself jobbie from Ikea. I had it on the car roof rack just in case I came across a farm track. And...

So now, you're going to ask 'what the bleedin' hell is a throstle?' Gurgle it.
