Linen in Bloom by Geoff Carpenter
This field of flax lies just outside Canterbury,Kent,England. I was on the way to take my car into the garage, when I passed this beautiful field, full of blue flowers. I decided that I had to come back and get some photos.
Flax is of course used in the production of fabrics such as Linen.

A superb shot with well balanced colour in spite of the sunset. Flax is a gorgeous crop.
Thanks Roger.

Whereabouts just outside of Canterbury Geoff? Stunning field full of colour and the sunset’s superb.
Hi Stuart. As you drive from Sarre towards Canterbury, there is a roundabout with an industrial park on the left hand side. The field is to the right,just before the roundabout.
