Elephant Grass
Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 6 February 2008 in Plant & Nature.
Walking to the pub at sunset (this was on 28 January), I liked the colour coming back off this tall elephant grass in someones garden that I passed.

Beautiful, Richard! Was it really tall or did you have to get close to the ground to get this? Whatever you did, it's really nice.

They look giant from this angle and golden against the blue sky.

I like the way the grass is lit by the sunlight, and it's perspective. Nice one!
