![Trees in pasture near Seend. The view here is from the low ground up towards Seend some of the buildings of which are just visible against the skyline.The day before the stream that runs just out of view beneath the image was flooded and waders would have been required in order to take the photo from this position. The low lying land here and to the south east near to Semington Brook is frequently flooded in winter (for example, see [[1063799]]) although the winter of 2010 seems slightly worse than normal. by Doug Lee – 24 January 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/67/60/1676078_87bc2c0d_120x120.jpg)







![2009 : North of east at the end of Bowerhill Lane. Make the most of the view over fields before they are covered with houses as is the nearby Bowerhill Estate.Centre frame, on the skyline a small group of trees mark Oliver's Castle [[SU0064]] by Maurice Pullin – 06 December 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/60/78/1607813_b21e3b00_120x120.jpg)
![Portrait of a meadow. The meadowland here is beside the Kennet and Avon canal although the position here is on a footpath on the opposite side of the canal to the towpath. Perhaps as a result of the longer and colder than normal winter all the springtime flowers have blossomed more or less simultaneously. This meadow and similar land nearby are a blaze of yellow buttercups but also sprinkled with the purple of clover and the solid white of the hawthorn hedgerows.[[1888885]] provides an almost ground-level view for the same location whilst [[1888846]] provides a view of this location from hip level from about ten metres away by Doug Lee – 23 May 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/88/88/1888804_d557738f_120x120.jpg)

![Portrait of a meadow - a hip level view. In the same meadow as [[1888804]] and looking toward the location from which it was taken this image shows the meadow as viewed from just below hip height. From this position the gentle rolling of the ground in the field and the strongly growing grass and buttercups obscures the view more than ten or so metres away. At this time of year the buttercups, or probably kingcups, are the tallest plants in the meadow and the view here shows how they stand clear of most of the grasses and other plants.[[1888885]] provides a lower level viewpoint for the same location by Doug Lee – 23 May 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/88/88/1888846_92056f90_120x120.jpg)
![Portrait of a meadow - a shin-level view. For the meadow pictured in [[1888804]] and [[1888846]] the view here shows a shin-level view of the meadow. The buttercups/kingcups which dominate the view from the normal human viewpoint and from the top of the growth now give way to grasses and clover as the more obvious plantlife.Within this meadow a path has formed along the edge of the field although the right of way runs ten or more metres from the edge. The lush growth along the right of way as shown in the image may be one factor why people have tended to keep to the edge of the field - it's quite hard work to wade through the vegetation and feels like something of a shame to trample down the flowers. by Doug Lee – 23 May 2010](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/88/88/1888885_01e127dc_120x120.jpg)
