Our Garden in August

With summer here our garden is growing well although the lawn is getting a bit brown:
Sumaer garden panoramaThis view was taken early in the morning: I wanted it to be still enough for a panorama, with a blue sky showing some detail. This early morning was the first time in August that these conditions were satisfied.

What I like about this image is the high, light cloud with a nice summery feel that gives more interest than a plain bright blue sky. Most of the previous days there was too much or too heavy clouds.

I thought that this image would be a reasonable candidate for an interactive (or VR) view so I prepared the following (without a soundtrack):

In this final image, I show the vegetable plot and polytunnel:

Vegetable plotI enjoy this photo, not just for the interest in the garden, but also for the white clouds breaking up the blue sky. This is a good view of part of the garden that shows what is growing: the main items being the runner beans on the left growing up the frame.

You can see the full set for August in the Gardening Gallery.
