When did you take this? It looks like canola to me and that colour should be there at the end of spring early summer. And where?

It is canola or rapeseed. The header picture was taken in Derbyshire in England and the main picture in La Rochelle in France, both in the late spring time.
When I was a boy we never saw yellow fields like these but in the past 20 years more and more is grown in the UK because of its high yield and reliability – they look pretty too, which is a bonus!

And over the road from me there is usually a crop and tourists from the city stop and if I’m out there they ask me to take a photo on their mobile phone and I do and I smile and they say “sandshoe velly mush”

The other yellow fields that we have in Lincolnshire are daffodils in March – acres and acres of them!

Beautiful Andrew! Is this rapeseed or canola? Do you remember my post this summer about this yellow crop?

I remember your post from this summer time. We call it rapeseed and as I understand it Canola is a strain of the plant that was developed in Canada and specifically suited to the Prairies. Every year in England there seem to be more and more yellow fields spreading across the land. The header picture was snapped while playing golf in Derbyshire in England and the second is in La Rochelle in France.

You have the facts correct Andrew which is of no surprise to me. 🙂 Obviously the demand for the product is increasing. Great view from the golf course!

I find yellow fields of Slavonia in Croatia particularly captivating – worth a visit at least on Google images 🙂
