Golden glow from ripening barley and fig tree foreground (best on large).

Another shot of the view from the garden. I reckon the figs will be ripe in about a month ("sooner than that" says my brother-in-law and he will probably be right; I was thinking of my 4 fig trees in my London garden years ago!).

Brilliant view Andy. I've got a large fig tree in my driveway and I wonder if it's the same kind as yours. My figs come out before the leaves. It's strange to see the branches full of fruit but devoid of leaves - they come about a couple of months later. Is this normal for fig trees do you know?

Andy Rodker replied to Jenny McIntyre:

Many thanks, Jenny!
Yes, I think so.
When I had fig trees, I think I had 2 different types, but I can't rememebr the variety names, nor their growth specifics, except that one definitely did as you say! In fact the fruit appeared, in winter, long before the leaves but when it became ripe, I can no longer recall (perhaps July? with the other type a bit later) - I do recall though that the fruit was green on one and purple on the other.
This tree has a lot of immature fruit but somehow I didn't catch more than a couple in this shot!

Thank you, Malik.
Yes, it depends on the variety! I had an early ripening variety in my garden in England which enjoyed a sunny spot!

Great Andy.
Since it has been so warm, the figs also thrive here in the Allgäu on the northern edge of the Alps...

It seems to me that something has changed in the way you photograph your surroundings, Andy (if I may say so...). I hardly recognized it in this one. Maybe because of your sedentary lifestyle? Or from the experience you've been through? ....
This photo is particularly personal - and really beautiful! This perspective, accompanied by fig trees, is really inhabited by you. And this is what I have been trying to achieve for years through photography (before it was drawing, then music...!)
