...a small haven in the Derbyshire countryside - the village is quaint and very small and these fields surround them. This was towards the end of my walk on Saturday - you can see I timed it well as it is just starting to go dark. I avoided the field with the bulls and took the lane by the farm. This view caught my eye as the sun was enhancing the already brightly painted fence making it glow in the twilight. I took this photo in raw and have made no changes to it.

very good capture of the red fence. I thought bulls were attracted to the color red? Oh, well, you made it through without injury. Thanks for sharing it.
