Yellow in the Green


As you can see the picture was taken in June of 2017. And all you see --notice the following picture is a line of yellow in the green.  The yellow are the majs crops (corn).  Although ripen every fall --from summer onwards, one can see the line of yellow grow in the green fields---and ah, it is such a delight-----visible through my window both on train and bus rides to and fro from Stockholm. 






Here it seems like someone just drew a line.  Actually these crops are used to make majsolja --corn oil....which is used often in salads.  The grains grown the most in ancient times in Sweden were rye and barley  (click on the link to read more about it).


Anyway, these yellow lines, catch my eye every year. I also saw them in Prague's country side.  In India, it is the mustard fields, (here look at a video. Watch the whole thing, really beautiful).  These fields have been part of poetry and movie songs for ages. One has to bow to the bounty and big heart of mother earth!!
