    Not snow! by John De Carteret from the GigaPan Looking east at Greve de Lecq Beach, Jersey north coast, UK by John De Carteret

    Not snow or grasses waving in the wind, this is the unsightly remains of agricultal plastic sheeting used by farmers to protect the early potato crop. Unfortunately, if not properly fixed down it becomes windborne, tangles up in trees, and blights the landscape until the plastic breaks down !!!!!!
