This field is an optical illusion.

This grass field is an optical illusion. If you look at it, initially, it looks very much like other fields. It looks as if it has grass like any other field. But look closely and you will see that the grass here is only two or three inches short unlike those long-haired hippy fields next door with their wavy, luxurious locks.  No, this field is an optical illusion. It looks gently sloping and benign. No matter how hard you look you will not see the steep slopes and slippery aspects. These are even more impressive when you traverse them carrying a razor sharp scythe. This field is an optical illusion as it hides its content. It looks boring and empty but up close it is covered in butterflies (mainly Meadow Browns and Red Admirals), crawling with frogs of all sizes and lively with beetles. This field's optical illusion hides its size. It looks small and compact, it does not look as if to cut it would take a walk of over eight kilometers to reach every part of its area.This field is an optical illusion. Looking at it you would not know that it had received four hours of manual attention with a scythe. Four hours of back-breaking labour leaving me with muscle pains where I didn't even know I had muscles. Four hours of rhythmic swish-swish, sweat-sweat, sharpen-sharpen, stagger-stagger, swish-swish (repetere ad agone) and it looks much the same as when I started.

We are now going to explore two-wheeled tractors.
