Thrashing at Manor Farm, Godmanstone, Dorset


Organic wheat straw for thatching is put through a reed comber, which gently separates the grain from the straw. The scene echoes the days of thrashing machines, and of farm work being done by teams of people. The strength of the image is in the captured moment, and in its timelessness.
