The footpath across Farndon Fields, in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, England. The area is currently under development, with a number of new homes being built.
To the right is a small ditch, presumably cut to help drainage of the clay-heavy soil. The ground in this area is rather muddy due to the heavy machinery used in the construction work.
Not far away can be seen a pile of small trees and boxes filled with shrubs, waiting to be planted as part of the development.
