HIGH SUMMER

The sky in the photo is packed with clouds and the light seems to be suffocated. Underneath however the landscape is several tones brighter and there is a distinct contrast between sky and land. I really like this effect, the landscape has a dappled appearance and although the trees are quite similar in colour they are distinctly defined. Its a quintessentially English high summer the kind Constable would have painted.
