All taken at 12.30pm in mid-summer.

well the second one is rubbish beyond belief.

il2 as much as i like it isn't particularly good, kinda springish if you try hard, but works fine in il2.

the first one although ugly, is pretty good colour wise for this time of year (april/may), but rubbish for summer, ie BoB, plus wrong crops for BoB.

Clodo, if the trees were the right mix of colours (there far to light green), is actually passable, but the tress are all wrong really, and there loads of trees here in SE Kent.... I'm not really sure what the fields are supposed to represent either, but hey ho. Its a kinda generic 'fit'

with some work on the trees, it would be by far the best imo....

heres some pics i took last summer (aug) when i was working, gives you some idea of the trees.







tress will always appear darker because of the fact they cast shadow on themselves.
