Travelling at Rapeseed

Bokeh

Oilseed rape seed in a field near my house. All you can see when you drive around are seas of yellow. The word "rape" as applied to oilseed crops is derived from the Latin word rapum that means turnip. The oil produced is a lean vegetable oil which can also be used as biodiesel.
