Description
Fields of Legend is inspired or reminds me of the Tom Cruise film Legend. I often imagine a unicorn and such like running through the fields or water to the left or a place Hobbits would stop off on there way to great adventures.
The shot was taken in a location close to me some time in the early morning hours and the beautiful scent of wild garlic was in the air on this very beautiful sunny day.
Woodland panoramic landscape have to be one of my passions regarding subjects. Some of the woodland shots I have here are incredibly ancient not in terms of how long ago I took the photograph hehe rather the woods them self's.
Allium ursinum grows in deciduous woodlands with moist soils, preferring slightly acidic conditions. It flowers before deciduous trees leaf in the spring, filling the air with their characteristic garlic-like scent. The stem is triangular in shape and the leaves are similar to those of the Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis). Unlike the related Allium vineale (crow garlic) and Allium oleraceum (field garlic), the flower-head contains no bulbils, only flowers. In the British Isles, colonies are frequently associated with bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), especially in ancient woodland. It is considered to be an Ancient Woodland Indicator (AWI) species.
