Large Square Bale Wrapper

Baling hay at Husby on a warm Summer day in early July.

Wrapped bales

Feels a bit early for the hay harvest in mid-June, but it has been a strange year weatherwise, so why not. As seen near the old tree a week ago now.

Hay, High Voltage and a lot of Sky

I noticed that the farmer had placed the hay in an unusual spot so I decided to test the 85mm lens. This is umpteen photos stitched together. Came out perfectly. Skywatch Friday.

Hay bales on a field in front of the Hesslingby estate in Österhaninge. I didn't have time to come up with a good title for this photo before my flickr friend Monika did that for me.

Hay Harvesting

It's that time of the year again. Hay Harvesting. All around Haninge the farmers have been busy with the harvest. I have seen it in large scale near the Häringe castle, where they use many big machines from the Fituna Farm, and small scale like this at Husby in Österhaninge, where there is a small stable just up the hill where the hay from this field will end up as food for the horses. Nice to see the young and old working together here. Shot this last week on one of those very warm days. I believe that the people here are members of Helena Persson's family. Helena is one of Sweden's best English Riders.

Hay Harvest

Hay Harvest. Farmers collecting hay bales from a field in Västerhaninge. No rain for a few days when I took this so everything probably went according to plans. Not sure who the farmer is, but either Nödesta or Ormsta is my guess.
