A photo a day from the famous East Midlands city, its surroundings, and wherever the photographic journey takes me.

Mellow Yellow
Rapeseed is a relatively new crop growing on British farms. A member of the mustard family. It produces oil which is used in food production and also in bio fuels. The UK is in 6th position as a world grower. Although it makes the fields look pretty in the spring, some say that it is a major cause of asthma in people living in the country.

It doesn't cause asthma, but it can trigger attacks in people with asthma.
