Oast Houses and Cumulus Clouds Kent
Oast Houses and Cumulus Clouds Kent
Dramatic cumulus clouds rise behind a pair of oast houses, seen from the Wealdway near Haysden in the Medway valley, Kent. Oast houses are particularly associated with Kent and are also called hop kilns as they were built to dry hops. Hops were once the most important crop in the county, now they are hardly grown and many oasts have been converted into homes. A rampant white horse is one of the symbols of Kent and features on the county coat of arms. The black horse here has presumably been painted to contrast with the white cowl. Similar images with different clouds are available, please message if interested!
