View towards Balsdean Farm and the Sea
I love this view. It opens up upon reaching the South Downs Way coming from Kingston. Today it was just magic. A shower had passed just 10 minutes earlier, but then the green grass was shining in the backlight. Was almost blinded by the sun when taking this shot so unfortunately messed up the exposure a bit.

Sheep in a queue?
I was most bemused by this flock of sheep which weaved its way in an orderly line from one end of the field to the other. There were no sheepdogs or farmers in sight to keep them in line and there seemed no obvious reason for them walking in curves rather than in a straight line. Surely this cannot be normal behaviour!
