Large fields of round hay bales. I couldn’t take my eyes off the beautiful scene. We were driving from Gore to Balclutha on Monday morning; the weather was dismal but the harvest scene was stunning. I told Nigel that I’d love to photograph the scene for a blog post and title it “Hey, hey hey !”
On our return trip in the late afternoon we stopped and we both took photographs. Remembering my earlier comment, Nigel took the initiative and surprised me by composing photos of three hay bales to go with my title. They worked really well and I loved them!

Yes, the immediate area has nice rolling hills as you can see and more rugged hills further away. We took the photos about halfway between the town of Clinton and the tiny settlement of Waipahi.

Thank you so much Jodi! In our new rental we have a clear patch of wall with a nail in it. Buzz got framed as soon as he arrived in NZ and now he hangs on that wall in great splendour (keeps me company all the time as its part of the kitchen/dining and by the door we use most 🙂

Hey hey there; these are always a striking sight. These ones don’t seem to be covered in plastic yet? Is that right?

Hi Gallivanta. They’re wrapped (on the outside only) with a clear plastic mesh. I’m not sure if they’re hay or haylage.

You should go now Gallivanta, on the next fine day, before the winter sets in. Do you go to Banks Peninsula sometimes?

I don’t usually go Banks Peninsula way. My trips are more likely to be inland ( eg Methven way) or south as far as Timaru. And when I go I like to take the back roads. 🙂
