Make hay while the sun shines by Nick Tsiatinis
I’ve been after a good bale shot for a long while now, but there just haven’t been any done in any of the fields within walking distance… Until recently! Riding home on my motorbike I passed a couple of fields near my house in Barwell and the farmers were happily providing me with some fantastic photography material – so who am I to turn down an opportunity to take my new Canon out for a ‘field’trip ;)

Brickwork, Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire by artwhiz47
This tumbling brickwork is part of one of two 16th-Century angle towers which were built as part of the walls of the so-called Wilderness Garden at the now-ruined castle at Ashby. The Manor of Ashby was first bestowed upon a faithful follower, Hugh de Grentmeisnil, by William I, in the 11th century, & passed through a number of hands over the centuries. Each occupant added buildings & tore down others, which accounts for the structures’ highly intriguing patchwork aspect The Wilderness Garden was probably conceived & constructed during the reign of James I, by then-owner the Earl of Huntingdon. After the Civil War, the castle was ‘slighted’ (partially razed to prevent its being utilized as a defensible fortress), & that process was responsible for its present ruinous state.
