Misty sunset

Same field as previous blip, but taken a little before sunset instead of two hours after.

I decided to try baling the smaller of the two fields. It was a bit of a struggle to say it nicely. First I struggled getting the baler into working position alone, with sweat itching in my eyes (already +29°C and high moisture), then the new head of the drive shaft didn't fit without hammering it in (so now it won't come off for transport) and then the shear bolt broke three times by the time I got ten usable bales out of the machine!

At that time there was thunder a few kilometres to the south, so I decided not to try changing the bolt any more and sent a message to a neighbour to ask her to fetch the bales for her horses. Soon after I got home, it started pouring down with thunder all around. The total rainfall was 17 millimetres, and most of it came in the first 15 minutes.
