Winter canola crop blooming in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I never get tired of seeing the yellow flowers. Not exactly wood burning related, but there is a wood burner in the background of a few photos.

Beautiful crop you have there, fuel! Is that Signal Knob? I'm down the ridge on Short Mountain near Mount Jackson.
I am not sure where Signal Knob is located, but it could be a few ridges north from the "Peak". You are not to far away.

whoops -wrong end. Signal Knob is up north by Strausburg. Part of a chain of signal towers that connected Winchester to Richmond in the civil war.
Always wondered - Is canola the same species that often shows up now in all the unplowed fields? I know there are a ton of Brassicas out there.

When we lived in Fairfax, we used to have a weekend place on the South Fork of the Shenandoah between Luray & Front Royal (and my daughter went to JMU in Harrisonburg). That valley is a drop-dead gorgeous place that just oozes agricultural activity. I always loved it out there (of course, compared to being in Fairfax, damn near anyplace would be a relief 
).

Harrisonburg is an awesome town! (Regardless of that party a few years back that got out of hand..) never had a problem with any kids there. Great food scene, had an awesome brewpub for years, too. Gotta go paddle the south fork again soon.
