The hops harvest

Over the summer months, hop bines (not a typo) grow heavier and heavier on their wires until the autumn, when they’re ready to be harvested. In this photo, we see two stages of the harvest process. In the background, the bines and their flowers fill the spaces between supports, while in the foreground, a worker cuts away a remnant left on the overhead wires after the harvester has been through.
